JOHNIE ARMSTRONG
Time Team Episode 5 Ballad of Johnie Armstrong part 1
Pinkerton’s Scottish Poems.
In The Comfilaynt of Scotland, John Armtstrangis* dance, mentioned as a popular tune, has probably some reference to our hero. The common people of the high parts of Teviotda’e, Liddesdale, and the country adjacent, hold the memory of Johnie Armstrong in very high respect . They affirm also, that one of his attendants broke through the king’s guard, and carried to Gilnockie Tower the news of the bloody catastrophe. ‘This song was first published by Allan Ramsay, in his Evergreen, who says he copied it from the mouth of a gentleman called Armstrong, who was in the sixth genetation from this John. The reciter assured him that this was the genuine old ballad, the common one false.”—

Johnnie Armstrang
SOME speikis of lords, some speikis of lairds,
And sic lyke men of hie degrie;
Of a gentleman I sing a sang,
Sum tyme called laird of Gilnockie.
The king he wrytes a luving letter,
With his ain hand sae tenderly,
And he hath sent it to Johnie Armstrang,
To cum and speik with him speedily.
The Elliots and Armstrangs did convene;
They were a gallant companie—
“We‘ll ride and meit our lawful king,
And bring him safe to Gilnockie.”
When Johnie cam’ before the king,
Wi’ a’ his men, sae brave to see,
The king he move his bonnet to him;
He ween’d he was a king as well as he.
“May I find grace, my sovereign liege,
Grace for my loyal men and me?
For my name it is Johnie Armstrang,
And subject of yours, my liege,” said he.
“Away, away, thou traitor strang!
Out o’ my sight soon mayst thou be!
I grantit nevir a traitor’s life,
And now I‘ll not begin with thee.”
“To seik het water beneith cauld ice,
Surely it is a greit folie—
I have asked grace at a graceless face,
But there is nane for my men and me!”
“But had I kenn’d ere I cam frae hame,
How thou unkind wadst been to me!
I wad have keepit the Border side,
In spite of all thy force and thee.”
“John murder’d was hung at Carlinrigg,
And all his gallant companie;
But Scotland’s heart was ne’er sae wae,
To see sae mony brave men dee—”

HOLE (house)/HOLLOW/HOLLAS;
Showing the burning of John Armstrang’s (Gilnockie) Holehouse, likely could be the tower which is standing today. Could use some archaeological carbon dating on the the burnt wood in it’s structure to verify this.
Shows that John Armstrang is well educated for his day because he could write letters.
Shows the names in 1528 Elwald (elk of woods), Nykson (Nicolas’ son), Armistrang (army strong of Scotland), Crosers (cross bearers); ie Elliot, Nixon, Armstrong, and Crozier, today.
