to this game occurs in several instances in authorities of the fifteenth century" (Way's Note in Prompt. Parv., p. 60). In Brinsley's Grammar Schoole, cited by Mr. Furnivall in Early English Meals and Manners, p. lxii., is this passage: M By this meanes also the schollars may be kept euer in their places, and hard to their labours, without that running out to the Campo (as they tearme it) at school times, and the mani-folde disorders thereof; as watching and striuing for the clubbe and loytering then in the fields." See " Football."
Canlie
A very common game in Aberdeen, played by a number of boys, one of whom is by lot chosen to act the part of Canlie. A certain portion of a street or ground, as it may happen, is marked off as his territory, into which, if any of the other boys presume to enter, and be caught by Canlie before he can get off the ground, he is doomed to take the place of Canlie, who becomes free in consequence of the capture. The game is prevalent throughout Scotland, though differently denominated : in Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire it is called "Tig," and in Mearns " Tick."—Jamieson.
See "Tig."
Capie-Hole
A hole is made in the ground, and a certain line drawn, called a Strand, behind which the players must take their stations. The object is at this distance to throw the bowl into the hole. He who does this most frequently wins. It is now more generally called "The Hole," but the old designation is not quite extinct. It is otherwise played in Angus. Three holes are made at equal distances. He who can first strike his bowl into each of these holes thrice in succession wins the game (Jamieson). It is alluded to in The Life of a Scotch Rogtie, 1722, p. 7.
See " Bun-hole."
Carrick
Old name for " Shinty " in Fife.—Jamieson. |
