THE MACLEODS.-The History of the Camerons having now been issued in book form, it is not intended to continue the history of the various branches of that clan in the Celtic Magazine any further; but the History of the Macleods, by the Editor, will be commenced on an early date. It is hoped that all those possess ing information will communicate with Mr Mackenzie, so as to enable him to make the work as complete and interesting as possible. He has been already kindly promised access by Macleod of Macleod to the Macleod Charter Chest, and others have also kindly volunteered their aid, THE LEGEND OF CUMYN'S CAIRN. ON the shore of Loch Loch, in Athole, there stands a large cairn of stones, which is known as Cumyn's Cairn. This spot is regarded with superstitious dread by the people around, who tell the following legend concerning it. In the thirteenth century there were two great proprietors in Athole, Cumyn, Earl of Badenoch, and Mackintosh of Tirinie. The first of these was a grasping and avaricious man, and was constantly engaged in feuds with his neighbours. Mackintosh was an entirely different man, and as he kept his people at peace, his lands were naturally more prolific and his cattle more numerous than those of the warlike Earl, who, if he at any time brought home a heavy creach from one of his forays, was very likely despoiled of it next day. Cumyn was thus continually envious of Mackintosh's prosperity, and the handsome present of twelve cows and a bull, which the latter sent him on his wedding, only served to arouse his cupidity the more. He at last resolved to possess himself of his neighbour's whole goods, and at the same time to gratify his malice by putting Mackintosh and all his people to death. In furtherance of this ungrateful resolution, he set out from Blair Castle one night with a band of men, and quietly surrounded Tomafour Castle, where Mackintosh resided. The watchmen, not expecting an invasion, were easily overcome, and the marauders then rushed into the castle and slew everyone they found in it. It is said that Cumyn himself plunged his dirk into Mackintosh's heart as he sprang up to grapple with his midnight assailant. After this dreadful deed, the murderers decamped with everything they could lay hands upon, and left the bloodstained castle without attempting to hide the dead bodies or efface the marks of slaughter. Near Tomafour there lived an old man who held his little bit of land from Mackintosh, and, under one of those curious leases so common in the olden time, all the rent he had to pay was a bonnet yearly. It happened that the day after the massacre above described was this man's rent-day, and he accordingly started off for the castle as usual with his bonnet. Upon getting there he was astonished at the silence which brooded over the place, and its apparently deserted state. He entered the doorway, and was horrified to come upon the body of one of the sentinels. The terrible truth now began to dawn upon him, and a further search confirmed his fears. He wandered distractedly through the lonely rooms, looking for some sign of life, but only to be confronted at every threshold by the gory remains of some one of the household. All at once he fancied he heard a faint cry. He listened intently for a few moments, and again the cry was repeated, this time evidently proceeding from a chamber he had not yet entered. On going into this room he found the corpses of the murdered chieftain and his wife stretched upon their bed, whilst the cry he had heard appeared to come from underneath a heap of bedclothes which the assassins had rudely torn from the bed and left upon the floor. The removal of this disclosed a cradle, containing Mackintosh's infant son, who had thus been miraculously preserved, though well-nigh smothered by the bedclothes. The old clansman seized the child, and wrapping it in his plaid, he left the ill-fated house and betook himself to Campbell of Achinbreck, the nearest surviving relative of the little orphan. This chieftain listened to the old man's tale with horror, and immediately adopted the child as his The Cumyns were too powerful to be interfered with, and the boy grew up in ignorance of his birth and of the murder of his family. His deliverer remained at Achinbreck, and took great pains to instruct his young protégé in the use of the bow, and other warlike accomplishments. own. The lad soon became an excellent shot, and one day, after he had hit a small mark from a long distance several times in succession, the old man could keep his secret no longer, and exclaimed, in a significant tone, "The gray breast of the man that killed your father is broader than that target!" This remark aroused the lad's curiosity to the utmost, and he had no peace until he had drawn out the whole story. The recital so enraged him that he bitterly reproached his guardian for not telling it to him before. His only thought now was of revenge upon his father's murderer. He at once left Achinbreck, and went to Tomafour, where he gathered a band of his clansmen, delighted beyond |
