IV. -- " Merlin." The Scots lay claim, rightly or wrongly, to the scenes of many of Arthur's victories in that part of Tweedside and the Border which, in the sixth century, was Brython (that is, Welsh) Strathclyde, or Cambria. The growth of the English kingdom of Northumbria, founded by Ida the Flame-Bearer, of Bamborough, overran the Welsh and Gaelic Border; but Welsh has left some place-names, as in the hill called Penchrise. IX. -- " Grseme." This is Lord Lyndoch, who, on the death of his beautiful wife, sought forgetfulness in war. The portrait of Mrs. Grahame, by Gainsborough, is his masterpiece, and, after long concealment, is now in the Edinburgh National Musenm. See II. xvi. and the notes on other Grahames, -- Sir John, Wallace's friend, the great Marquis, and Bonnie Dundee. The name is usually spelled Grahame, but by the House of Garoock, Grseme. " Grime" was the English spelling !
