Towards the end of the seventh century, Elfrid, the 

 Northumbrian prince, attacked tlie Picts. Having 

 crossed the Forth and the Tay, he advanced into 

 Angus as far as Dunnichen, where he received a total 

 defeat. Few of the Saxons escaped, and so complete 

 was their overthrow, that the Tweed, for a short time, 

 became the northern boundary of their principality. 

 A. D. 710. The Picts were tempted by their success to make an 

 irruption into Northumberland, but they sustained a 

 defeat, and Bridei their king was slain. 



After this overthrow, the Saxons of Lothian re- 

 mained unmolested for a considerable period, but they 

 gradually sank into insignificance ; their capital was 

 sacked by the Picts and Saxons, and the respite from 

 foreign war which they subsequently enjoyed must be 

 attributed to the intestine discord which prevailed in 

 the Pictish and Northumbrian states. 



We must now notice the Scots, of whom a colony, 

 conducted by Fergus, an Irish chieftain, had effected a 

 permanent settlement in Argyleshire in the year of our 

 Lord 503. The new settlers were denominated Dalri- 

 adini, and this appellation was common to the Scots 

 even in the time of Bede. The series of the early Scot- 

 tish kings, as given by Chalmers, is as follows :

The Scottish colonists were not numerous t first ; 

 but they rapidly multiplied, as they were soon joined 

 by kindred tribes. 



In the eighth century^ a civil war desolated the Bri- 

 tish kingdom, and the Scots, taking advantage of these 

 dvil discords, harassed the i-r.tVebled Picts. At length 

 Kenneth the Second secured his accession to the Pictuh Kcf.netfa II. 

 throne, and united into one kingdom the whole coun- 

 try north of the wall of Antoninus. 



There is no historical evidence that the kingdom of 

 the Scots and Picts extended beyond the northern 

 wall. After the settlement of the "Anglo-Saxons, the 

 princes of Northumberland possessed all the territory 

 between the Humber and the Forth. The castle of 

 Edinburgh, which commanded the adjacent country, 

 continued in the hands of the Saxons tdl the defeat of 

 Kjjtrid by the Picts, who then took possession of it. 

 But tiie Saxons reconquered it soon after, and retained 

 it till it was ceded to Indulf, king of Scotland. 



The district now comprehended in Galloway wa 

 colonized from Ireland. After the subjugation of tht 

 kingdom of Alcluyd, it had its own princes and laws. 

 For a considerable period it was independent of Scot- 

 land ; but it afterwards acknowledged a feudatory de- 

 pendence on that kingdom, and was at length united. 



Ar':cr the dissolution of the Heptarchy, C umber land 

 became an appendage of the Scottish crown.
