Brief baiting-time:--the bugle sounds, Onwards the ponderous van rebounds Mid the grim squadron, which surrounds Its path with spur and spear. Thy shrine, Dumanie, fades on sight,[13] And, seen from Niddreff's hazelly height, The Forth, amid its islands bright, Shimmers with lustre clear.[14] [13] Dalmeny Church is unquestionably of very great antiquity. From the style of its architecture, which a most competent authority, Mr Billings, ("Baronial and Ecclesiastical Antiquities," vol. i.) has pronounced to be of the purest Norman, it is referred, at least, to the tenth or eleventh centuries. There is extant a charter of Waldeve, Earl of Dunbar, from 1166 to 1182, witnessed by the parson of Dumanie. [14] On these banks a castle was afterwards erected by the Earls of Wintoun, the picturesque ruins of which are yet a prominent object, by the edge of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, to the west of Kirkliston. Queen Mary is said to have slept there, on her flight from Lochleven to Hamilton, 2d May 1568. VI. The Maiden Castle next surveyed, Across the furzy hills of Braid, By Craig-Milor,[15] through Wymet's glade To Inneresc they wound;[16] Then o'er the Garlton crags afar, Where, oft a check to England's war, Cospatrick's stronghold of Dunbar[17] In proud defiance frowned. [15] The name has for centuries been vulgarised into Craigmillar. Adam de Cardonnel, in his "Picturesque Antiquities," adheres to the spelling in the text; although it is generally now admitted that the appellation is Gaelic--_Craig-moil-ard_, or the high bare rock running out into a plain. The original structure is of unknown antiquity. [16] Woolmet, or Wymet, and Inneresc, were granted by charter of David the First to the Abbey of Dunfermline; the latter in confirmation of a previous grant by Malcolm Canmore and Queen Margaret, ("Registrum de Dunfermlyn," Imp. Edin. 1842, p. 5, 6.) A small mausoleum of the Wauchope family now occupies the site of the chapel of Wymet; and the venerable pile of St Michael the Archangel, at Inneresc, was ruthlessly demolished in 1804. The house in which the great Randolph died, which was about half a mile distant, was also hewn down, about ten years afterwards, to make way for a shabby masonic lodge.
