Legend Concerning The Hound Point
"Connected with this remarkable Spot an old legend of the house of Barn of Baron -bugh
represents that whenever the death of any of its lords is about to occur the unwonted apparition of
a black man accompanied by a hound appears upon the point and winds from his bugle
the death-note of the baron. Hence the origin of the ancient name of Bar'nbugle." etc -- Summer Life on Land & Water by W.W. Fyfe page, 156 |

[Note] -- Earl Cairnie from, Fyfe's Life on Land and Water at South Queensferry
We reached Earl Cairnie in twilight by an adventurous trio in one of whom a German the mystic spot
awoke the very spirit of dreams and folk lore. But with us the question was what this strange aggregation
of stones could possibly be. We have great pleasure in being able to record its correct description
because the statement of Penney who manifestly never saw it but copied the Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] [continued on page 16] |

[Earl Cairnie continued from page 15]
to the affect that it Stands 24 ft. [feet] in height on the top of a high Sea bank is composed of granite, Whinstone, quartz,
iron stone, and lime stone got from the neighbouring grounds has been implicitly followed by writers equally
reckless or equally uninformed. The circular heap is probably as represented 500 feet in circumference
occupying a secluded rather than an elevated site in the park of Barnbougle surrounded by the most aged
of its trees considerably removed from the Shore and though now not rising 12 ft. [feet] in its elevation was we
are assured by a gentleman of the neighbourhood at least 40 ft. [feet] in height within the memory of persons
not long dead. The Component moss grown boulders that remain of this remarkable tumulus far from
being correctly denoted by the enumeration already noticed do not appear to comprise several of the
Specimens mentioned but yet to embrace a far more extensive variety than is either stated or than the
neighbouring grounds would at all supply though carried by the hand from considerable distances.
The greater proportion of the stones are in fact perfect strangers to the soil. Yet there they stand piled
one over another encircled by the venerable forest trees and green with the antique mosses that cover them and
no man can tell whence or why they are there. The Country people Call this spot once courted by picnic
parties and still desecrated by the fragments of broken bottles and other marks of irreverence, - Earl Cairnie which
the gentleman to whom we alluded above suggests might possibly be interpreted Harold's Cairn, but then the
question arises would it be Harold the Earl, or Harold the Dane? That this country was much affected
by the Saxons the Saxon families of Dundas and Mowbray and the old dispute about the English
souzerainty of the Lothians might tend to Shew. But the besetting difficulty is that on the one
hand we have no Saxon tumili at all and on the other hand that we have no Danish tumili [continued on page 17] |

[Earl Cairnie continued from page 16]
and there is no scope for Danish works of the magnitude of this either here or on any other
portion of the mainland of Scotland. If it were erected indeed as must therefore be supposed
in communication of a native victory over the Dane why then the lofty cairn might swell for ages through
the pride of tradition, and generation after generation as they passed it might bring from the most
distant pilgrimages a stone to pile upon Earl Cairnie. So let it be. The hollow whispering trees that
bend over it, crumbling in all the decrepitude of age and the very lichens and mosses that conceal
its stones seem to reserve from us a tale which history has forgotten to tell or which is only recorded
in those perplexing hieroglyphics which linguists can never interpret. |

"Barnbougle Castle an ancient seat of the Mowbrays
[in] the parish of Dalmeny Linlithgowshire, In 1620 it
passed by Sale from the Mowbrays and is now
the property of the Earl of Roseberry. Its site is
close to the Firth of Forth and the sea has in its
enroachments here completely washed away the
lawn before it so that is was long since found
necessary to erect a bulwark for the safety of the castle " -- Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland |

[Barnbougle Castle continued from page 31]
"Untill just approach [approached] from the west the ivy mantled ruin of Barnbougle remains unseen on its
projecting rock built terraced point of the shore owing to an intervening mound of earth The
ruin though now greatly delapidated still rises tall and slender to a lofty elevation on its remarkable site
and presents a bold as well as broad exterior to the water. Its architectural details are feudal
but more modern than might be readily anticipated. Indeed save the ivy which now in a
measure sustains in an upright position one great block of the masonry reft asunder from top
to bottom there are few traces of antiquity beyond its dilapidation to be seen about this
stronghold." etc. etc.
"Of the date when Barnbougle Castle was erected we have no manner of evidence. On
the rising ground near it is situated the graceful and ornamental structure of the
modern mansion." etc. -- Life on Land & Water at Queensferry by W.W. Fyfe. Page 163 |
