to reach the sea. If he proceeded to the Solway Firth, he would pass from Teviotdale by Ewisdale, and his course is marked by the church being dedicated to him. The most prominent headland on the north side of the Solway is where the Dee enters into it, and here the parish of Kirkcudbright is also dedicated to him. He landed ‘sub ripa,’ where he and his companions passed three days between the highland and the shore, waiting for a fair wind. ‘The line of coast from Mullock bay on the east to Torr’s point extends about three miles. It is bold and rocky, except for a short space immediately below the farmhouse of Howell, and at a point east of that called “the Haen,” _i.e._ Haven, in Balmae.... In a precipice, on the Balmae shore, to the west, and not far from the mouth of the Dee, is a remarkable natural cavern called Torr’s Cove which extends sixty feet into the rock.... The door is said to have been originally built with stone, and to have had a lintel at the top, which is now buried in the ruins. The cave is thought to have been sometimes used as a hiding-place in former times.’—(_N. S. A._ vol. iv. Kirkcudbright, p. 6.) This may have been the scene of St. Cuthbert’s adventure.

Footnote 126: ‘Near to the parish church of Anwoth, in Galloway, is a low undulating range of hills, called the Boreland Hills. One of these goes by the name of Trusty’s Hill, and round its top may be traced the remains of a vitrified wall.’—Stuart’s _Sculptured Stones_, vol. i. p. 31. Anwoth is on the east side of Wigtown Bay; Whithern in the peninsula on the west side. Footnote 127: Mailcon is the genitive form of Mailcu. It is the same name as Milchu, the Dalaradian king who held St. Patrick in slavery.

Footnote 131: The old name of the parish of New Abbey, in Kirkcudbright, was Loch Kindeloch, as appears from the Chartulary of Kelso, No. 253. The loch seems to have taken its name from Cendaeladh. Footnote 132: Scotorum a circione, Pictorum ab aquilone. Footnote 133: Revertuntur ergo impudentes grassatores Hiberni domum post non multum temporis reversuri (§ 21). The author considers this the correct reading in preference to ‘ad hibernas domos,’ as it is supported by the best MSS. Footnote 134:
