THE sword of the famous Scots hero,
William Wallace, was recently conveyed
back to its old resting place in Loudoun
Castle, Scotland, by the Countess of Lou
doun. "This sword" says Glasgow pa
per, "has been preserved in Loudoun Cas-
tie from the death of Wallace until five
years back, when it was removed by the
late Marquis of Hastings TO his seat ia
Leicestershire. On the death of the Mar
quis in 1868 it passed into the possession of
the present Countess, who has just brought
it back to its old home. 1t will be remem-
bered that the mother of Wallace was
daughter of Loudoun, and that on the death
of his uncle, Sir Reginald Crawford, of
Loudoun Changed by the English at Ayr,
Wallace bad the custody of his only daugh-
ter, Susannah Crawford, of Loudoun, who
married son of Sir Neil Campbell, of Ar
gyll, and was ancestress of the present
Countess Of Loudoun, the HEREDITARY custo-
dian of the sword of William Wallace.
