Excerpt from Picturesque Scottish Scenery: From Original Drawings by T. L. Rowbotham Murray had spent the night in a house in the neighbourhood. Rumours had reached him of the danger by which he was threatened. One of his friends' had even persuaded him to avoid the High Street, and pass round by the back of the town. But the crowd, pressing round him, rendered it impossible for him to do so and he rode onwards through Linlithgow, with calm courage, amidst the acclamations of the populace. He proceeded at a slow pace along the High Street till he reached the Archbishop's house. He was thus exposed to the fire of the assassin, who, taking deliberate aim, discharged his caliver. The Regent, shot right through the lower part of his body, fell mortally wounded. At this sight, the crowd rushed towards the house from whence the shot had been fired. But while they were endeavouring to break down the door, Bothwell-haugh, escaping at the back, had mounted his horse, and fled at full speed in the direction of Hamilton Castle.
