QUEEN MARAGARET'S CAVE.
The Edinburgh Daily Review reports the intended restoration of a hitherto neglected relic s at DunferaKne, dating from the time when Sing Malcolm held Court at the Town Hill. This relic is Queen Margaret's Cave, which consists of an apartment in the solid rock, and is situated a few hundred yards from the Town Hill. It is 6ft'pin. in height, Bft. 6in. in width, and lift. 9in. in length. At the bottom of, the cave is a small spring well, the water of which risen it times and covers the whole of the lower space. Queen Margaret was accustomed, historians tell us, to repair constantly to the cave for the . purpose of private devotion, and the Sing, discovering the reaU. cause of her long absences, hearing whwhe listened prayers uttered by her on his behalf, caused the rude excavation in the rock, always damp and dingy, to be fitted up as an oratory. After the Queen's death the place was permitted to fall into decay.'
