Thus was Burnet not only the succourer of the king* in the time of need, but his detection of Elliot's misdemeanours turned out also a most im- portant service to the whole district. We have little more to add, than that Darnley performed his promise to Edward, and bestowed on him the farm of Castlehill, in which the young" man led no lonely life ; for such was Andrew Tod's thankfulness at the narrow escape he had made from matching' his only child with a robber, that it was generally believed ...he would have given her to Edward, though the latter had remained poor as before. As it was, however, to have saved a king, and to be possessor of a farm, were no disadvantages. The young king danced at the wedding of Edward and Mary, which took place on the day on which the bridegroom entered into the lands and house of Castlehill; and henceforward, the tower which had sheltered a den of midnight reivers became the home of a happy and thriving family, one of the junior members of which, to the great satisfaction of Andrew Tod, who lived long enough to see it, became the miller of Kirkton on the Manor.
