[28] In Vautr. edit. "Glennish House." There is a place still named
Gleniston, near Loch Gelly, a few miles from Kinghorn, which belonged
in the 14th and 15th century, to Glen of Balmuto; the property, by
marriage, afterwards came into the family of Boswell. There was also
Glammis Tower, or Castle, an old stronghold which stood upon the
rising ground that overlooks the town of Kinghorn. (New Stat. Account,
Fife, p. 804.)
[29] This was probably Robert Hamilton whose name occurs in the
Treasurer's Accounts in the years 1561 and 1562, as Master of the
Artillery.

them."
[31] The Queen Regent, in 1558, had made Captain James Cullen one of
the keepers of the town of Perth. As noticed, in the following page,
on the 24th January 1559-60, he and Captain Farny, "being in ane pink,
were taken; and also ane uther schip callit the Hoy, quhilkis were to
pas in Fyff, with munitioun to furneis the Frenche Campe." (Diurnal of
Occurrents, pp. 55, 272.) In January 1559-60, letters had been sent
"to caus all maner of provision, sic as breid, drink, flesche, fische,
and utheris necessaris, to follow the Frenche army in Fyffe."
(Treasurer's Accounts.) Payments to Captain James Cullen, then in the
Queen's service, occur in the Treasurer's Accounts, June and September
1566. His ultimate fate is recorded in the Diurnal of Occurrents, and
in Richard Bannatyne's Memorials: having been taken prisoner in the
Canongate on the 14th June 1571, he was tried at Leith, and beheaded
on the 17th July, at the instigation, it is said, of the Earl of
Morton.
