About the Book

The village described in the Benedictine's manuscript by the name of Kennaquhair, bearsthe same Celtic termination which occurs in Traquhair, Caquhair, and other compounds.The learned Chalmers derives this word Quhair, from the winding course of a stream; adefinition which coincides, in a remarkable degree, with the serpentine turns of the riverTweed near the village of which we speak. It has been long famous for the splendidMonastery of Saint Mary, founded by David the First of Scotland, in whose reign wereformed, in the same county, the no less splendid establishments of Melrose, Jedburgh, andKelso. The donations of land with which the King endowed these wealthy fraternitiesprocured him from the Monkish historians the epithet of Saint, and from one of hisimpoverished descendants the splenetic censure, "that he had been a sore saint for theCrown."It seems probable, notwithstanding, that David, who was a wise as well as a piousmonarch, was not moved solely by religious motives to those great acts of munificence tothe church, but annexed political views to his pious generosity. His possessions inNorthumberland and Cumberland became precarious after the loss of the Battle of theStandard; and since the comparatively fertile valley of Teviot-dale was likely to become thefrontier of his kingdom, it is probable he wished to secure at least a part of these valuablepossessions by placing them in the hands of the monks, whose property was for a long timerespected, even amidst the rage of a frontier war. In this manner alone had the King somechance of ensuring protection and security to the cultivators of the soil; and, in fact, forseveral ages the possessions of these Abbeys were each a sort of Goshen, enjoying the calmlight of peace and immunity, while the rest of the country, occupied by wild clans andmarauding barons, was one dark scene of confusion, blood, and unremitted outrage.
