OS1/4/23/59 [page] 59 County of Banff -- Parish of Mortlach "A huge and singularly roundish stone, formerly, it is said, on the grave of Enetus, but now rolled a few ells from its station over the corpse, and made a part of a fence about a field of corn; where it is denominated the Aquavitae Stone. To account for this appellation, and to prevent antiquarians from puzzling their brains with dark and learned hypothises in time to come, it may not be improper to tell that the man whose bravery strength removed this venerable tenant, finding it rather a heavy piece of work, got, as a solace for their toil, a pint of whisky, out of which, out of which immediately, around the stone, they took a hearty dram. Everybody knows, that, in Scotland, whisky and aquavitae are the same".

It is placed on a beautiful eminence on the banks of Fiddich likewise, a little below its confluence with the Dullan and has a variety of charming scenery in its view. Tradition calls the oldest part of it, for it has evidently been built at different times, a Pictish town. In days of old, it successively owned as its masters the Cummings, the Douglasses, and the Stewarts; and, after them, passing through several other families in the 16th and 17th centuries it became the property of Duff of Braes, about the year 1687, and is now the Earl of Fifes. In the 1446 there was a Lord Balveny of the name of Douglas. In the front, and high over its iron and massy gate, which still remains, is a motto of the Stewarts, Earls of Athol, descriptive of the savage valour and unhappy circumstances of the times. Fvrth. Fortvin. and Fill. The. Fattris. The situations of both these ancient fortalices are well chosen in defence.

The whole of the battle field having been Cultivated a long time ago there are left no existing remains that generaly marks the site of such conflicts - the only antiquity remaining is a sculptured stone said to have been erected to commemorate the victory gained by Malcolm. "In the year 1010, Malcolm II. obtained, in this parish, that signal victory over the Danes, which has ever since given the place a superior degree of fame, and makes it respected as classic ground. *** Malcolm had been beat the year before by the Danes,and was oblidged to leave them in possession of the lands of Moray. Anxious, however [continued on page 115]

OS1/4/23/115 Site of BATTLE OF MORTLACH A.D. 1010 Battle of Mortlach Continued [continued from page 114] however, to expel such intruders, he now returns upon them from the south, with a powerful force; and the Danes, having intelligence of his motions came forward to give him battle. The armies get their first sight of one another not far from the church of Mortlach; and a very little to the northward of it they engage. In the beginning of the attack, while pushing on with too ardent an impetuosity, Kenneth, Thane of the Isles; Dunbar, Thane of Laudian; and Graeme, Thane of Strathern are unfortunately slain. On the loss of three of their generals, the Scotch are struck with a panic, and go into confusion. Everything was now in a most doubtful suspense, and too likely to be decisive. The King, who has the character of a brave, sensible and pious man, is most reluctantly along with the retreating crowd, till he was opposite to the church, then a chapel dedicated to Molocus. The narrowness of the passage here abated a little the career of the pursuing Danes; the flying army got a minute to breathe; and, from the very situation of the ground, were again almost necessarily collected. On a mere incident, a presence of mind, or a happy thought, under providence, often depends the fate of war. The monarch was seized, perhaps from the very appearance of the consecrated walls in that aera of superstitiution, with a devotional impulse. He prays, pays his homage to the Virgin Mary, and the tutelary saint, according to the manners of the times, makes a vow, is inspired with a confidence of the aid of Heaven, and addresses himself, in an animating speech, to his countrymen and fellow soldiers. It was the critical moment - his crown, his all was at stake, and the Danes were a cruel enemy. He immediately takes the lead; presses on the foe; throws Erictus, one of the Danish generals, from his horse, and kills him with his own hand. Without a certain degree of enthusiasm, there is nothing great to be done. The charge, without delay, is generally and vigorously renewed; and, under the mingled influence of patriotism and religion, the Scotch carry everything before them, and win the day. And a bloody day it is reported to have been, though a glorious one, for Malcolm and his victorious troops. Some [continued on page 116]

OS1/4/23/116 Site of BATTLE OF MORTLACH A.D. 1010 Battle of Mortlach Continued [continued from page 115] Some think that, for conveying its cebrity to the future ages, was erected the stately obelisk still standing at Forres. Certain it is, that soon after the Danes finally left the Kingdom. *** As traditional and pretty sure memorials of this famous battle, are pointed out; 1st. The vestiges of an intrenchment, very distinct at this day, on the summit of Little Conval-hill, called by the neighbourhood the Danish Camp. 2nd. A number of the tumuli, or cairns, supposed to have been collected over the bodies of the fallen. 3. A huge and irregularly roundish stone, formerly, it is said, on the grave of Enetus, but now rolled a few ells from its station over the corpse, and made part of a fence about a field of corn. *** 4. A square bit of ground, almost covered with whins, into which multitudes of the dead were tumbled. *** 5. The length of Malcolm's spear added to the church, at the west end, in performance of part of his vow. It has been the spear of a Goliah, 23 or 24 feet long. 6. Three holes, exactly of the shape of skulls, in this additional and votive part of the house, yet to be seen; where the heads of three Danes of distinction had, with too barbarous a triumph, were originally built in the wall. *** 7. A Standing Stone on the glebe, having on two of its opposite sides some rude and unintelligible sculpture: Human bones, broken sabres, and other military armour, have been at different times accidentally discovered in this part of the country: And in ploughing the glebe, about 40 or 50 years ago, there was a chain of gold turned up, which looked like an ornament for the neck of one of the chiefs."

It is between five and six feet high and two feet broad; on the one side appear in the upper part two fishes Standing perpendicular with their mouths turned towards each other, below them is a cross and under that a Lamb; on the upper part of the other side is a dove, below it is a Serpent, under that an ox's head, and lower still a man on horseback accompanied by a dog; most of these emblems would indicate a Christian origin.

OS1/4/23/123 CHURCH CATHEDRAL (Remains of) Church Cathedral Remains of Continued [continued from page 122] "The church is indeed venerable but it is only because it is old; having none of that magnificence, nice architecture or elegant decorations, which we do justly admire in the more modern cathedrals of after times. Tradition reports that its walls are the very same as in the beginning of the 11th century; and they are so strong that it is thought they might stand for hundreds of years to come; The doors and windows and the simplicity of the whole edifice bear witness to its age. *** The choir on the East end, where the music was, and where the altar also would be is 27 feet long and a few feet higher than the rest of the building. Here the door to the organ loft is to be seen, and on the ridge of the, is what they call the Three Bishops, a pyramid like stone of little show, with a semblance of a face on each of its sides, right ruddy cut. *** It is clear from the evidence of history, that on this occasion, by the pious gratitude of Malcolm, and in fact filment of a sacred engagement, Mortlach was exalted to Episcopal honours. One Beyars or Bean, was, by Pope Benidict, made its first bishop who, about 30 years after, died, and was buried here. Donortuis was the second, and next to him came Cormac. These two, between them, enjoyed their preferment more than 80 years, and, on the death of the latter, succeeded Bishop Vectan, the fourth and last of Mortlach; for in his fourteenth year he was translated by King David I. to Aberdeen, which soon got the name, and became the sect of the diocese. And thus Mortlach from a dignified bishopric, sunk into a humble parsonage. The see was at Mortlach 129 years from 1010 to 1139". Old Statistical Accounts.
