P. 83, note †.
I prefer to say, two or more events. The citations already given in this work may possibly cover four distinct tragedies, and William Anderson, in his Genealogy and Surnames, 1865, p. 104, tells us (but without stating his authority) there was "a line of nine barons, all of whom, in the unruly times in which they lived, died violent deaths." The ballad may have commenced originally: "Inverawe (= Inner-Aw) cam doun Deeside." (W. Macmath.)
81 b, seventeenth and twenty-fourth lines. Read Abergeldy.
82 b, note, first line. Read Brachally in Dee Water Side.
