Note 1014 — Chapter X · MOTTE-CASTLES IN SCOTLAND

This list is mainly compiled from Chalmers’ Caledonia, vol. i., book iv., ch. i. The letter C. refers to Dr Christison’s Early Fortifications in Scotland; N., to Mr Neilson’s paper in the Scottish Review, 1898; O.M., to the 25-inch Ordnance Map; G., to the Gazetteer of Scotland. It is a matter of great regret to the writer that she has been unable to do any personal visitation of the Scottish castles, except in the cases of Roxburgh and Jedburgh. It is therefore impossible to be absolutely certain that all the hillocks mentioned in this list are true mottes, or whether all of them still exist.
