Note 58 — Chapter II · THE SEVEN PROVINCES OF SCOTLAND.

Anderson’s Orkneyinga Saga, p. 28, note. The author has no doubt that Munch’s conjecture is correct. The expression ‘where Scotland and England meet’ must not be too strictly construed, but it evidently places the locality on the southern frontier of Scotland. That Gallgaedhel is geographically Galloway appears from this, that the deaths of Roland and Allan, Lords of Galloway, which took place in 1199 and 1234, are recorded in the Irish Annals under the title of Ri Gallgaedhel.
