Beruvik, probably the inlet at the mouth of the Berriedale water, on the north side of the Ord of Caithness, where there is an old tower called Berriedale Castle. (See note at p. 18.) Footnote 414: This was probably the castle which was destroyed by King William the Lion in the end of the twelfth century, when he sent his troops against Earl Harald “to Turseha,” and destroyed the Earl’s residence there. Footnote 415: This is evidently a mistake in the text for Rögnvaldsey, or South Ronaldsay. In the MS. the contraction R.ey is used both for Rínarsey and Rögnvaldsey. Footnote 416: Vidivag, the voe or creek of the beacon; now Widewall, in South Ronaldsay. Footnote 417: Bardvik, the bay beside Barth Head; now Burswick, in South Ronaldsay. Footnote 418: Strandhögg, strand-hewing, or victualling the ships of a viking squadron, by driving cattle to the shore, and killing them there. Footnote 419: Ru Stoer in Assynt, on the west coast of Sutherlandshire. Footnote 420: Walls, in the Island of Hoy, Orkney. Footnote 421: Knarston, at Scapa, in the Mainland of Orkney. (See note at p. 113.) Footnote 422: Paplay, in Mainland, where Hákon Karl, the brother of Earl Magnus the Holy, had his residence. (See p. 96.) Footnote 423: Sandwick, in Deerness. Footnote 424: The Iceland Annals place the fall of Earl Erlend in A.D. 1154. Footnote 425: See p. 74. Footnote 426: None of these men are again mentioned in the Saga. Footnote 427: In the “Coppie of my Lord Sinclaire’s Rentale, that deit at Flowdin,” dating between 1497 and 1503, there is a Tyngwale in Rendale, set to John Selatter. The name still remains, but there is no other trace of an Orkney thing-stead in the Islands. (See p. 61.) Footnote 428: Mackaile and Sir Robert Sibbald both notice the existence of white hares in the hill of Hoy. Low, in his “Fauna Orcadensis,” states that they did not exist in his day; and he adds, “nor is there a hare of any kind to be found in the Orkneys.” Footnote 429: Cave Isle—now Eller Holm, a small island between Shapinsay and the Mainland of Orkney. Footnote 430: This seems to indicate that there was an ecclesiastical settlement on Eller Holm. Possibly it may have been the “isle Elon” referred to in the stanza made by Earl Rögnvald on the occasion of the singular apparition of the sixteen shaven crowns described in chap. lxvi. It is suggestive of this that Fordun gives the name of this island as Helene-holm instead of Eller Holm. (See note, chap. lxvi.) Footnote 431: Völuness has not been identified. Footnote 432: This must be Barswick, near Barthhead, in South Ronaldsay, as it is afterwards stated that from this headland Rögnvald and Swein saw Earl Harald’s ship coming across the Firth from Caithness to Walls. Footnote 433:
