051 | There is no vestige of this bridge remaining now. It takes its name from Sir Robert Bruce's Queen having concealed herself under the Arch in A. D. 1306, when flying from Kildrummy Castle, pursued by the Earl of Pembroke & his rabble. This was shortly after the battle of Methven and in the Pictorial History of Scotland Vol I. "After the battle of Methven King Robert Bruce of Scotland sent his Queen to Kildrummy Castle for safety under an escort of cavalry. Edward soon thereafter issues an ordinance commanding the guardian of Scotland to proclaim & pursue all who had been in arms against the English. These dastardly orders were executed & the Queen along with her daughter had to fly from the castle & so on". |
