Note 434 — Chapter VI · THE KINGDOM OF SCONE.
Reading edition
Invasit sexies Saxoniam et concremavit Dunbarre atque Mailros usurpata. Britanni autem concremaverunt Dubblain atque Danari vastaverunt Pictaviam ad Cluanan et Duncalden.—Ib. p. 8. In the Lodbrokar-quida, or death-song of Ragnar Lodbrok, it is said, in v. 12, ‘At Bartha-firdi down from our points distilled the dew (of death).’ Barthafirdi may be the Firth of Tay, and the allusion may be to the invasion of Danes under Ragnar.
