The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

{151} The course of the river (the Ericht) is from north to south. Middle Mause lies on the west side of it, and Craighall on the east. {155a} With reference to the last statement in Mr. Newton's notes see the Journal of Sir Walter Scott (edit., 1891, p. 210) under date 13th June, 1826. {155b} L'Homme Posthume. {155c} Denny's Folklore of China. {156} Story received in a letter from Lieutenant --- of H.M.S gunboat ---. {157} He fought at Culloden, of course for King George, and was appealed to for protection by old Glengarry. {158a} Fox's hole. {158b} How did Inverawe get leave to wear the Highland dress? {160} In every version of the story that I have heard or read Ticonderoga is called St. Louis, and Inverawe was ignorant of its other name. Yet in all the histories of the war that I have seen, the only name given to the place is Ticonderoga. There is no mention of its having a French name. Even if Inverawe knew the fort they were to storm was called Ticonderoga, he cannot have known it when the ghost appeared to him in Scotland. At that time there was not even a fort at Ticonderoga, as the French only erected it in 1756. Inverawe had told his story to friends in Scotland before the war broke out in America, so even if in 1758 he did know the real name of the fort that the expedition was directed against, I don't see that it lessens the interest of the story.--E.
