THE ROYAL CAS'I'LES OF SCOTLAND. (From Tytler’s IIistol-y of Scotland.) On the Borders were the castles of Jedburgh, Rox- burgh, and Berwick, those of Dumfries, Kircudbright, Wigtown, Ayr, Tarbet, Dumbarton, and Stirling, formed a semicircle of fortresses which commanded .the impor— tant districts of Annandale, Galloway, Carrick, Kyle, Lanark, and the country round Stirling, containing the passes into the Highlands. Between Stirling, Perth, and the Tay, there was no royal Castle till we reach Dundee, where Fitz-Allan commanded; after which the castles of Forfar, Kiiicardine, and Aberdeen, pro- tected and kept under the counties of Perth, Angus, Kiiicardiiie, and Aberdeen; and travelling still further north, we find the castles of Cromrrrty or Crumbarthyn, Dingwall, Iiivcrness, Nairn, Forres, Elgii‘i, and Banff, which, when well garrisoned, were deemed suflicieiit to maintain the royal authority in those romote and un- settled districts. Such were the royal castles of Scor- land‘previous to the war of Liberty : but it was the po- licy of Bruce, as we have seen, to raze the fortresses of the kingdom, wherever they fell under his power; whilst, on the other hand, Edward, in his various campaigns, found it necessary to follow the same plan which had
