62。 Rowan。 The mountain´ash。
71。 That monk�察�of savage form and face。 Scott says here�此 �The state of religion in the middle ages afforded considerable facilities for those whose mode of life excluded them from regular worship�察�to secure�察�nevertheless�察�the ghostly assistance of confessors�察�perfectly willing to adapt the nature of their doctrine to the necessities and peculiar circumstances of their flock。 Robin Hood�察�it is well known�察�had his celebrated domestic chaplain Friar Tuck。 And that same curtal friar was probably matched in manners and appearance by the ghostly fathers of the Tynedale robbers�察�who are thus described in an excommunication fulminated against their patrons by Richard Fox�察�Bishop of Durham�察�tempore Henrici VIII。�此�'We have further understood�察�that there are many chaplains in the said territories of Tynedale and Redesdale�察�who are public and open maintainers of concubinage�察�irregular�察�suspended�察�excommunicated�察�and interdicted persons�察�and withal so utterly ignorant of letters�察�that it has been found by those who objected this to them�察�that there were some who�察�having celebrated mass for ten years�察�were still unable to read the sacramental service。 We have also understood there are persons among them who�察�although not ordained�察�do take upon them the offices of priesthood�察�and�察�in contempt of God�察�celebrate the divine and sacred rites�察�and administer the sacraments�察�not only in sacred and dedicated places�察�but in those which are prophane and interdicted�察�and most wretchedly ruinous�察�they themselves being attired in ragged�察�torn�察�and most filthy vestments�察�altogether unfit to be used in divine�察�or even in temporal offices。 The which said chaplains do administer sacraments and sacramental rites to the aforesaid manifest and infamous thieves�察�robbers�察�depredators�察�receivers of stolen goods�察�and plunderers�察�and that without restitution�察�or intention to restore�察�as evinced by the act�察�and do also openly admit them to the rites of ecclesiastical sepulchre�察�without exacting security for restitution�察�although they are prohibited from doing so by the sacred canons�察�as well as by the institutes of the saints and fathers。 All which infers the heavy peril of their own souls�察�and is a pernicious example to the other believers in Christ�察�as well as no slight�察�but an aggravated injury�察�to the numbers despoiled and plundered of their goods�察�gear�察�herds�察�and chattels。';

102。 Bucklered。 Served as a buckler to�察�shielded。
114。 Snood。 Cf。 i。 363 above。 Scott has the following note here�此 �The snood�察�or riband�察�with which as Scottish lass braided her hair�察�had an emblematical signification�察�and applied to her maiden character。 It was exchanged for the curch�察�toy�察�or coif�察�when she passed�察�by marriage�察�into the matron state。 But if the damsel was so unfortunate as to lose pretensions to the name of maiden�察�without gaining a right to that of matron�察�she was neither permitted to use the snood�察�nor advanced to the graver dignity of the curch。 In old Scottish songs there occur many sly allusions to such misfortune�察�as in the old words to the popular tune of 'Ower the muir amang the heather��'
'Down amang the broom�察�the broom�察 �Down amang the broom�察�my dearie�察 �The lassie lost her silken snood�察 �That gard her greet till she was wearie。';

144。 Curious。 Inquisitive�察�prying into hidden things。
148。 Hid him。 See on i。 142 above。
149。 The desert gave him�察�etc。 Scott says here�此 �In adopting the legend concerning the birth of the Founder of the Church of Kilmallie�察�the author has endeavored to trace the effects which such a belief was likely to produce�察�in a barbarous age�察�on the person to whom it related。 It seems likely that he must have become a fanatic or an impostor�察�or that mixture of both which forms a more frequent character than either of them�察�as existing separately。 In truth�察�mad persons are frequently more anxious to impress upon others a faith in their visions�察�than they are themselves confirmed in their reality�察�as�察�on the other hand�察�it is difficult for the most cool´headed impostor long to personate an enthusiast�察�without in some degree believing what he is so eager to have believed。 It was a natural attribute of such a character as the supposed hermit�察�that he should credit the numerous superstitions with which the minds of ordinary Highlanders are almost always imbued。 A few of these are slightly alluded to in this stanza。 The River Demon�察�or River´ horse�察�for it is that form which he commonly assumes�察�is the Kelpy of the Lowlands�察�an evil and malicious spirit�察�delighting to forebode and to witness calamity。 He frequents most Highland lakes and rivers�察�and one of his most memorable exploits was performed upon the banks of Loch Vennachar�察�in the very district which forms the scene of our action�此�it consisted in the destruction of a funeral procession�察�with all its attendants。 The 'noontide hag��' called in Gaelic Glas´lich�察�a tall�察�emaciated�察�gigantic female figure�察�is supposed in particular to haunt the district of Knoidart。 A goblin dressed in antique armor�察�and having one hand covered with blood�察�called�察�from that circumstance�察�Lham´dearg�察�or Red´hand�察�is a tenant of the forests of Glenmore and Rothiemurcus。 Other spirits of the desert�察�all frightful in shape and malignant in disposition�察�are believed to frequent different mountains and glens of the Highlands�察�where any unusual appearance�察�produced by mist�察�or the strange lights that are sometimes thrown upon particular objects�察�never fails to present an apparition to the imagination of the solitary and melancholy mountaineer。;
161。 Mankind。 Accented on the first syllable�察�as it is almost invariably in Shakespeare�察�except in Timon of Athens�察�where the modern accent prevails。 Milton uses either accent�察�as suits the measure。 We find both in P。 L。 viii。 358�此 �Above mankind�察�or aught than mankind higher。;
166。 Alpine's。 Some eds。 misprint ;Alpine�察─�also ;horsemen; in 172 below。
168。 The fatal Ben´Shie's boding scream。 The MS。 reads��
;The fatal Ben´Shie's dismal scream�察 �And seen her wrinkled form�察�the sign Of woe and death to Alpine's line。;
Scott has the following note here�此 �Most great families in the Highlands were supposed to have a tutelar�察�or rather a domestic�察�spirit�察�attached to them�察�who took an interest in their prosperity�察�and intimated�察�by its wailings�察�any approaching disaster。 That of Grant of Grant was called May Moullach�察�and appeared in the form of a girl�察�who had her arm covered with hair。 Grant of Rothiemurcus had an attendant called Bodach´an´ dun�察�or the Ghost of the Hill�察�and many other examples might be mentioned。 The Ben´Shie implies the female fairy whose lamentations were often supposed to precede the death of a chieftain of particular families。 When she is visible�察�it is in the form of an old woman�察�with a blue mant
