Note 11 — Chapter I · The Early History—Before A. D. 843.

Bed. Hist. Ecc., l. 4, c. 26. Nen. Geneal. Tigh. 686. An. Ult. 685. According to Nennius, no Saxon tax-gatherer ever again took tribute from the Picts. Tribute and a foreign bishop—or abbot—were the true tests of dependence at this period. Tulachaman seems to have been the place often known as Rath-inver-aman—“the fort at the mouth of the river Almond,” where vestiges of it are I believe still traceable. Dun Ollaig was probably a place at which Talorcan of Atholl was killed some years later.
