But from the lands, armorial bearings, &c. , it seems probable that some person of this name distinguished himself in that memorable action. " With regard to Lady Alice Graem, I have to admit that I have created this personage in the poem, because many ladies, whose names were not presen'ed to History, were with the Bruce during his wanderings in 1306-7-8, in Galloway, Ayr, and also in the Highlands. " There was, " says Fraser Tytler (" History of Scotland, " vol. I. P. 220), "a romantic intere...st about Bruce's fortunes, which had a powerful effect upon the female mind, and the hero seems to have availed himself of this influence. * He had already received assistance from the Countess of Buchan and Christina of the Isles ; and now, on hearing of his success in Carrick, he was joined by a lady, nearly related to him, but whose name has been lost. She brought him, however, a seasonable supply of money and provisions, and a reinforcement of forty men. From her, too, he first learnt the miserable fate of Seton, Athole, and the garrison of Kildrummie, and, during the recital, is said to have vowed deeply that their deaths should not go unrevenged.
