Note 437 — Chapter XII · WILLIAM THE LION—1165–1214.
Reading edition
Ben. Ab. 1185. Fordun, l. 8, c. 39. Chron. Mel. 1185. From the latest of Mr. Innes’ interesting contributions to Scottish history it may be gathered that this Gillecolm was probably a certain Gillecolm Mariscall, who “rendered up the king’s castle of Heryn feloniously, and afterwards wickedly and traitorously went over to his mortal enemies, and stood with them against the king, to do him hurt to his power.”—Sketches of Early Scottish History, p. 208.
