[Sidenote: Modewie.]
The Modewie, or (as some pronounce it) Motheuie, riseth of two heads,
which ioining aboue Lanihangle, the streame runneth on till it méet
[Sidenote: Cledoch.]
with the Cledoch on the left hand, procéeding also further toward
[Sidenote: Sawtheie.]
Langadocke, it receiueth not far from thence the Sawtheie, whose two
heads descend from the blacke mounteines or east edge of
Carmardineshire (as mine information leadeth me.) After this
[Sidenote: Dulesse. 2.]
confluence the second Dulesse dooth méet with the Towie, whose head is
in the hilles aboue Talthogaie abbeie, northwest from Langadocke full
fiue miles: then comming downe by Landilovaur, Newton, Dinefar
[Sidenote: Dulesse. 3.]
castell, and Golden groue, it receiueth the third Dulesse from by
north that commeth in by Lanihangle and Drislan castell, and after
[Sidenote: Cothie.]
that the Cothie, whose race is somewhat long, and therefore his
description not vtterlie to be passed ouer.
Not farre from the head (which is three miles from Landanbreuie, vnder
the hulke of Blame Icorne, a narrow passage, and therein manie heaps
of stones) and somewhat beneath Lana Pinsent chappell, it taketh in
[Sidenote: Turche.]
the Turche becke that runneth thither from aboue Lanacroies: thence it
goeth to Lansawell, Abergorlech, Breghuangothie, Lannigood, and so
into Towie, which hasting forward by chappell Dewie, receiueth the
[Sidenote: Rauelthie.]
[Sidenote: Gwilie.]
Rauelthie from by north, then the Gwilie from northwest, whose head is
aboue Lanie Pinsent, and race by Canwell, Eluert, Comewilie, and
Merling hill as I haue often heard. After this confluence with the
Gwilie, the Towie goeth to Caermardine, then to Lanigang, then to
Lanstephan, S. Ismaels, and so into the sea.
