Libellus de nativitate Sancti Cuthberti de Historiis Hybernensium
excerptus et translatus—a MS. of the fourteenth century, in the
Diocesan Library at York, printed by the Surtees Club.
Footnote 390:
Et miro modo in lapidea devectus navicula, apud Galweiam in regione
illa, quae Rennii vocatur, in portu qui Rintsnoc dicitur,
applicuit.—C. xix.
Footnote 391:
Post hæc, curroc lapidea in Galweia derelicta, navim aliam subiit, et
alio portu, qui Letherpen dicitur, in Erregaithle, quæ est terra
Scottorum, applicuit. Portus ille inter Erregaithle et Incegal situs
est, lacus vero, qui ibi proximus adjacet, Loicafan vocatus est. Non
tamen amplius quam tres viri cum matre et filio extiterant qui
applicuerant.—_Ib._
Footnote 392:
_Ib._, c. xx.
Footnote 393:
Scotia is here distinguished from Erregaithle, or Argathelia, which
indicates a certain antiquity.

Footnote 395:
_Ib._, cc. xxii. xxiii.
Footnote 396:
Bede, _Hist. Ec._, B. iv. c. 27. Reverentissimus ecclesiæ
Lindisfarnensis in Britannia ex anachorita antistes Cuthberctus, totam
ab infantia usque ad senilem vitam miraculorum signis inclitam
duxit.—Bede, _Chronicon Adam._, 701.
Footnote 397:
See Preface to the volume containing the Life, p. ix.
Footnote 398:
It is on the authority of this life alone that a Columba is sometimes
called the first bishop of Dunkeld; but it is impossible to accept
this as historical.
Footnote 399:
This is true of the Columban monasteries generally.
Footnote 400:
This account is abridged from the Irish Life, cc. xxvi. and xxvii. See
Surtees’ edition, pp. 82, 83.
Footnote 401:
In the _Statistical Account_ we are told that there is a spring of
water about the middle of the Rock of Weem, of which St. David is said
to be the patron, who had a chapel on a shelf of the rock called
Craig-an-chapel. The fair is called Feill Dhaidh, and there is a
burying-ground called Cill Dhaidh. St. David seems to have superseded
St. Cuthbert here. The fair was held in March. St. Cuthbert’s day is
20th March.
