[In giving this table of the Scottish sovereigns, we are not in a position to vouch for its perfect correctness. Whatever certainty may attach to the accession of Fergus, who first occupied the throne, it must be kept in mind that from his time, up to the period of Malcolm or Macbeth, the history of the early princes has been deemed as approaching to the fabulous, and therefore worthy of little credit. If the table is not faultless, it is at least an approximation to the truth, and has been compiled from the least doubtful sources of information. In addition to which it will be found to correspond with the general contents of the history whose leading facts we have sought to embody and exhibit.] |
