"In Craigroston there are several caves in which lawless people used to skulk
& hide themselves: these are known by the names of the most remarkable persons who
used to frequent them. There is one commonly known by the name of King Robert's
cave. What gave it that name was, that King Robert Bruce, after his defeat at
Dalrec, in the west end of Strathfillan, passed that day with very few with him, down the strath, crossed the water of Falloch,
& came down the north side of Lochlomond to Craigrostan. Night coming on when he arrived at this cave he slept there."
