John Faed (1820-1902) Kinmont Willie Oil on canvas Signed lower right 97 x 120cm (381/4x 471/4in) Provenance Listed by John Faed as sold in 1865 for £500 to Flatou; Lord Courthope, Whiligh, Wadhurst, East Sussex; thence by descent. Exhibited London, The Royal Academy, 1865, No. 536 as Kinmont Willie, a prisoner. “They band his legs beneath the steed, etc.”, See MacEdward Leach, The Ballad Book for The Ballad of Kinmont Willie, William Armstrong of Kinmont, known as Kinmont Willie, was a notorious Border Reiver during the late 16th century. He has been credited with the taking of some 2000 head of Cattle in one raid. In the spring of 1596, a truce day was held near Kershopefoot. It was attended by 200 riders from each of the English Marches as well the Scots with Kinmont Willie in attendance. The two sides settled outstanding matters and compensation was paid for those robbed. Upon completion of this meeting Kinmont Willie headed for home. He was attacked en route by a party of English riders and imprisoned in Carlisle Castle under the care of the English Deputy Warden Salkeld, much to the satisfaction of Lord Scrope, the English warden. Salkeld happened to be the presiding English Officer at the truce meeting earlier that day. Kinmont Willie’s friend and fellow Borderer, Scott of Buccleuch, was enraged at this capture. The “Bauld Buccleuch,” as he is sometimes known, was just 30 and a most daring and reckless young Scottish chieftain. Of course, he was also a renowned Reiver himself and had plenty of grievance with Lord Scrope. Upon hearing of Willie’s capture, he is supposed to have exclaimed, “Now Christ’s curse upon my head, but avenged of Lord Scrope I’ll be.” Buccleuch at first tried all political means to have Willie released until these were all exhausted. He then decided to take matters into his own hands and release Willie by means of a “commando” style raid, he had the Castle studied and found what seemed to be a weakness at the “Postern gate”. He believed that the guards at this post could be overpowered and the gate taken. Scott and 80 handpicked followers including Harden, Will Elliot, Willie “Red Cloak” Bell, Red Rowan and other assorted members of the Elliot’s, Johnson’s and Irvine’s met at Kinmont Willie’s tower, Morton Castle. Willie’s sons were among them. With the way guarded by scouts, they rode in the moonlight in total silence, crossing the River Esk, and completing the 10 mile journey to Carlisle. In addition to arms, they carried ropes, ladders and grappling irons. The need for silence meant the party moved slowly, not arriving until dawn. They overpowered the castle guards, broke through the postern gate, opened Willie’s cell and rushed him out and to horse. In case of a fight, Scott had left the main part of his cavalcade outside the city gates and had planted the Johnsons and Irvines in ambush ready to head off any pursuit. But speed and brilliant planning had done their work and the raiding party was back on Scottish soil by sunrise. The English were left looking inept and Lord Scrope wrote to London, exaggerating the raiding party’s size up to 500 men. Queen Elizabeth was furious and wrote to James VI of Scotland demanding that Scott of Buccleuch be handed over. But James, who approved of the raid, managed to reply with diplomatic vagueness. Lord Scrope raided repeatedly into Scotland in reprisal while Buccleuch and his comrades raided back just as regularly. The situation got so out of control that the Queen demanded of Edinburgh that Buccleuch turn himself in, which he eventually did. He was held in the Tower of London for six months, until his young son was exchanged for him as a hostage. Some years later, when the Bauld Buccleuch traveled to London and into the Queen’s presence, she demanded of him how he had dared to break into her Carlisle stronghold. Buccleuch is said to have replied, “ What is there a man will not dare?” which seems to have mollified the Queen, because she had a soft spot for such roguish daredevils.
