"yer ain." He was speedily killed outright, having been atrociously pierced with daggers. I may here mention a traditional account of the events, without in any way vouching for its truth. It is said that the earl sought to escape through the underground passages which still exist; that he fled down the passage leading to the west wing, then along the one towards the east wing, to get out at the gate leading to the small pier; and that when in the passage between the two wings, he was recognised. Such is the tradition, but I cannot say whether or not these passages were then in existence. Of course, you know the old ballad which attributes a motive for the crime to jealousy on the part of the king. The subsequent and fruitless efforts of Lady Doune to obtain revenge and the 'condign punishment of the murderers, I need not relate. The banner she had painted, representing her murdered son, with all his ghastly wounds, is still kept in the charter-room of Donibristle. The house was again accidentally burned in 1858. By permission of the Earl of Moray, the members were allowed to examine the underground passages referred to by Mr. Craig. Much regret was expressed that a site of such historic interest and so much natural beauty should be only occupied by a blackened ruin, and the hope was expressed that at no distant date Donibristle would be rebuilt. Returning to Aberdour, the Society dined in the hotel under the presidency of Mr. Dalrymple Duncan, Mr. W. G. Black being croupier, and thereafter returned to Glasgow. INDEX.
