	The Earldom of Menteith
		THE district of Menteith, situated partly in Perthshire, partly in the county of Stirling, is celebrated for the beauty of its scenery and its traditionary and historical associations.
		The Earl of Menteith availed himself of the favourable opportunity to overthrow this unpatriotic faction, and suddenly seized the young king while he was holding a court at Kinross, rescuing him, as he said, from the hands of excommunicated traitors; and Alan Durward and the barons who supported him immediately fled to England.
		His son, ALAN MENTEITH, seventh earl, a staunch supporter of Robert Bruce, was taken prisoner at the battle of Methven, in 1306, when the fortunes of the patriot king were at the lowest ebb, was deprived of his estates by Edward I., and died in an English dungeon.

	MENTEITH, MALLING
		There is a marching camp to the immediate south-east of the fort at Menteith and another to the north-west at Malling.
		Bochastle is only 6 miles distant in a direct line, but a direct connexion over the hills is hardly in question.
		The area between the ditches seems to be a minimum of 9 acres, so the size of the fort may be close to that of the larger fort at Dalginross.

	THE NOVELS OF SIR WALTER SCOTT - A LEGEND OF MONTROSE
		Perhaps Menteith, so much interested in believing the tale, was not altogether the fittest person to be entrusted with the investigation of its truth; but the examinations of the Children of the Mist were simple, accurate, and in all respects consistent with each other.
		Menteith, in the meanwhile, leaving the new-found relations to their mutual feelings of mingled emotion, was eagerly discussing with Montrose the consequences of this discovery.
		Menteith's private character was so excellent, and such was the rank and consideration due to his fortune and family, that they outbalanced, in Sir Duncan's opinion, the difference in their political opinions.

	Macbeth Navigator: Characters: Menteith, a Scottish nobleman (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Menteith is among the Scottish forces that are marching to join Malcolm and the English army in Birnam wood before Macbeth's castle.
		He opens the scene by saying, "The English power is near, led on by Malcolm, / His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: / Revenges burn in them; for their dear causes / Would to the bleeding and the grim alarm / Excite the mortified man" (5.2.1-5).
		Although he is not named in the stage directions, Mentieth is probably among the thanes who are present at the end of the play, and who honor the victorious Malcolm by shouting "Hail, King of Scotland!" (5.8.60).

	Illustrated Guide to Places to Visit - Inchmahome Priory, Lake of Menteith, Stirling
		Inchmahome Priory is on an island on the Lake of Menteith, off the A873, 15 miles west of Stirling and five miles east of Aberfoyle, a popular town in the Trossachs area.
		Nobody knows for sure why Lake of Menteith is so called but the best guess is that some cartographer (English, probably) mistook "laigh" meaning low ground, for "lake" and the name stuck.
		The priory was founded in 1238 by Walter Comyn, earl of Menteith, for a group of Augustinians, although there appears to have been a church on the island prior to this.

	Appendix 1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since the Earldom of Menteith was, in the original patent of nobility, reserved for the heirs-male of the original Graham grantee (i.e., a Graham of unbroken descent in the male line), the Allardice claim, as heirs in the female line of the Grahams, did not give them a viable claim to that earldom.
		The Grahams of Menteith, as heirs to this David, were said to be ever conscious of this royal descent, to the extent that a later Earl of Menteith quartered the royal arms on his coat of arms.
		Since the crown of Scotland, unlike the Earldom of Menteith, could and did descend through the female line, if David Earl of Strathearn is considered the rightful King of Scotland, the kingdom would descend through his daughter to the Grahams, and through the male line of the Grahams to the Allardices.

		Lord Menteith applied himself to the spigot, drank without ceremony, and then handed the stoup to Anderson, who followed his master's example, but not until he had flung out the drop of ale which remained, and slightly rinsed the wooden cup.
		Lord Menteith insisted upon yielding up that which belonged to his rank, on consideration of his being in his own country, and of his near connexion with the family in which they found themselves.
		Their landlord ushered them in person to a sort of sleeping gallery, in which there was a four-post bed, with tartan curtains, and a number of cribs, or long hampers, placed along the wall, three of which, well stuffed with blooming heather, were prepared for the reception of guests.

		Menteith is (as per “H”) a true fishery.
		It’s not a lure pull or a stockie bash but is a relaxing day afloat with a lot to offer not only the regulars but also the visiting angler alike.
		Not only did I have the pleasure to be out on one of the most scenic waters in the UK but also I had the pleasure of fishing with an immensely likable bloke who is highly intelligent, a top flytier, funny and a good angler to boot.

	Hammer of the Scots Replay
		Well, there’s no use having Menteith stick around now, so instead of attacking in the second battle round, Menteith will retreat to Lanark, where a lot of red blocks are lurking nearby.
		Douglas has to retreat back to Menteith since he was in the reserve during the first battle round (he would have been able to enter the battle in the second round had Barclay held on).
		I sadly take the red Menteith block off the board and put him face-up with the rest of his rebellious kin while Sam finds the "blue" Menteith block and deploys him at 1 strength (the same strength he had when he defected) into Menteith.
