[XI.] I have since been told that I was misinformed as to the burial-place of Bob Roy; if so, I may plead in excuse that I wrote on apparently good authority, namely, that of a well-educated lady, who lived at the head of the Lake, within a mile, or less, of the point indicated as containing the remains of one so famous in that neighbourhood.

[Note prefixed .-- The history of Rob Roy is sufficiently known; his grave is near the head of Loch Ketterine, in one of those small pinfold-like burial-grounds, of neglected and desolate appearance, which the traveller meets with in the Highlands of Scotland.] 248.

*_Sonnet composed at -- -- Castle_, 1803.

[XII.] The castle here mentioned was Nidpath, near Peebles.

The person alluded to was the then Duke of Queensberry.
