[14] _Bed. Hist. Ecc._, l. 1, c. 34. _Uladh_ may be said to have had three meanings--1. Legendary Uladh, the northern kingdom of Ireland answering very nearly to modern Ulster; 2. Historical Uladh, the province lying to the eastward of Lough Neagh, and the rivers Bann and Newry; 3. Uladh proper, the southern and principal portion of the historical province, answering to the diocese of Down. The other historical divisions were, _Iveagh_ on the south-west, answering to the diocese of Dromore, and _Dal-Araidhe_ on the north, the “district of the _Airds_,” or hill-country, equivalent to the diocese of Connor. _Dalaraide_ must not be confounded with _Dalriada_. It was gradually restricted to the northern portion, known as _Tuisceart_ or the north. [15] _Tigh._ 723, 726, 734. _An. Ult._ 730, 732, 733, 735, 742. I have touched very slightly upon the annals of Dalriada, a very vexed question, which bears about as much upon the general history of Scotland, as the early annals of Sussex might do upon the general history of England.

One of the localities in which a battle was fought during the Northumbrian civil wars in this century is called by _Sim. Dun._, _Eildon_; by the Saxon chronicler, _Edwin’s Cliff_. Edwin’s _burgh_ in Lothian has long supplanted any earlier name which the locality may have borne, but upon the borders of Selkirk forest, and in the neighbourhood of the Catrail, the British _Eildon_ has long outlived the Anglian monarch’s _Cliff_.
