The Huron Expositor, 1870-12-23, Page 6.7 THE kfurtYrsT EXPOSITOR. Bothwell Citatle. Near to the village of Bothwell, and situated on a bettuiifully 'sloping bank overhanging the 'Clyde, stand ,s the majestic ruills of Both well Castle, the most imposing relic of eastellated architecture in Scotland. In ancient, times, Bothwell was.a,place of great feudal splendor, but now— "The tufted grass lines Bothwell's an-, cient hall, The fox peeps cautious from the crevised •wall, Where once proai Murry, Clydesclal's: suacient lord, A mimic sovereign, held the festal board." Some idea Of the former grandeur of this stately ruin may be formed -when We mention that its crumbled walls corer a space of two brindred and thirty-foui feet in length, and ninety-nine feet in breadth. The walls are in some places fifteen feet thick, and in height nearly sixteen feet. „ The principal front looks towards the Clyde, and consists of a length • ened wall pierced with loopholes and windows, and flanked by two enor- , mous towers. The interior of the ruin presents the appearance of. a • large court, at the east end of which stood the chapel. Vestiges of the fossee which formerly stuTounded the castle are still visiye. , The bia well was discovered about seventy years ago in a cornet of one of the towers, percolatingthrough the rocks to a good spring. In the front' wall, en- tering by a small opening from the court, is a circular cavern ahout twenty feet deep, and twelve in dia- • meter. This cave is Styled, for what reason we know not, "Wallace's Beef - barrel." In olden times prisoners were confined there.—Within and kinsman of, ilier ewn, to h who teeated him withi t kindness, an real service; in theaceunti flwhose in o him du 7, ali *a. ; Usefttl infor at on. , s en" Ten ceut's worth of paint, in powder (Par about a hairee, will cle A daily ImOderate as a salad at Meal tirn an effecti!O,reinedy fo Dip the ends of nai and they will drive hard ' wise ; 01 is an ex&llent reined It is also beneficial i epilepsy.

It must, however,have • been to a certain degree habitable d u r- ing the stormy period of the Civil. Wars, when it was occupied by the ,great Montrose'who dated from it a protection to Drummond of Haw- thornden, by which the officers and • soldiers under him were forbidden to injure or remove any property be- longing to that elegant scholar. Lit- tle is new known as to the origin Ot • this noble building. In the reign 4:4 Alexander the Second, the barony and castle of Bothwell were held by Walter Orlifard, the Justiciary of' Lothian, who died in 1242. Beth- • well was besieged in 1337 by the Scots, who took it by storm and dis- mantled it. This was two years after Edward Lhe Third resided in it for the space of twenty-six 'days. When the naomorable battle of Bannock- burn was fought, •Bothwell Castle - was held by Sir Walter Fitz -Gilbert. Afterwards the "conquering ; Bruce , relieved him of his charge, and be- stowed the castle and barony on An- drew Murray, Lord Bothweil, vslo had married his sister Oh ristian Bru de, Archibali, Earl of 'Douglas, next ob- tained it by marrying the heiress of that family. After the forfeiture of the .Douglasses, it Was granted to the Cria tons ; and on their forfeiture it , was bestowed by Jaraes'the Third on his favorite, John Ramsey. He being forfeited, James the Fourth gifted it to Adam Hepburn, Lord Hailes, whom he created Earl of Bothwell, • for the murder of t ord Darnely.H. From the crown it again passed inq the hands of Francis Stuart, Ea14 Bothwell, who made himself so con- seicatous in the succeeding reign for ' his conspiracies. ak fter a lapse O yeais it reverted to the Dough. e, , th through its alienation to e Eh ar 't. %e Angus, in dx.change far the Lordship - of Liddlesdele. In their possession it DOW is. • "It has been- observed," says an histotian, in refeitence to - Bothwell Castle, "that al mot all its . successive proprietors, it o to the pre- - sent family were unfortunate, as if the pessession of it had been accom- panied by a, fatality inducing perfidy and cl isl o ye], ty, and consequent exile , or death." '• 0 Bothwell Bank:. thou bloomest fair," is pethaps of all Scottish ballads the most touchingly tender and pathetic. To the rustic songssi ess svl.m warbles forth the plaintive words attaclied to this air, Nvandering at eve along the - :banks of themurmuring Clyde', it re ckslls the woes of the ill-fated coun- tess, who thns, wails forth her pas- sionate sorrow' over her base lord's desertion cf her. To the exile afar from Scottish shores, it conjures up in all its distant beauty one et the loveliest scenes of its native land. In proof of the antiquity -of this air we relate the following incident told in a. book printed at Amsterdam in the year 160,5 : While traveIline through Pales- tine, a Scotehman observed a woman -ssitting-at the door of a house, lulling Ler child to sleep to the tune of 8° Bothwell Bank." Overcome/wit i emotion at hearing in this diata.n i . 1 clime a strain so fondly familial to his ear, the traveller addressed her ' I I and discovered her to be a country- ; woman of his own, who, having -wan.- I dered thus fsr &era her Scottish home, had ruarried a Turk of -high rank, e 'harmed with the encounter, ; ahe introduced her countrymen as a I r husband, •e greatest nce was of his stay o mon green een,) used i of vermin. s of celery a .8 Bald tObe • nrv 11026811. 1) S ' tO grease, y Itto any ul ' other- - ocid w1ire they w ouble and break. ve oil, adunnisu're °red proc t! yeast h rbonate o id are us that. ket f aMois efrectuall d internally, for the gout. paralysis and sat, of raising ;is been discov- s da and Ey- d. mine applied end cloth, to eep theni th immmer Ixi. screwing nuts of machinery, in col tarefill not to heat t the hands or they:wi er being screwed :On come imam able after Worms irk pots ' Ma by stopeinki the hole and then priuringten 1 til it stands on the su it to standan hour, the corks a4d let itp To keep rkenlona: m in Warm weather, Co7r milk oi fresh and n ce for lemqn seetmilk . - old, that I 'lice into any part eather, be first with ntract aft - t, and be- d. destroyed the pots, water un - e.
