| ARRDANES | Arrdanes | Continued | [continued from page 31] "Accordingly, a trench, filled with bones of a large size is Known to exist on the north side of the road, about thirty yards from the churchyard. The field to the north of the road is at the present day known by the name of the "Arrdanes" and another on the rising ground to the east is called the "sword-danes". names believed to carry in them the remembrance of the position of two several divisions of the invading Northerners, armed with arrows and with swords." "Was this the battle in which Indulf, the Scottish King, was slain, A.D. 968? It took place "in Littore Boince". Yet it may be fairly doubted whether Cullen, also within the district of Boyne, has not a preferable claim to the honour of having been the locality of that battle. More probably this was one of the engagements under Malcolm II, contemperaneous with those at Gamrie and Cruden" New Statistical Account |
