The Black Douglas was building his hunting lodge at Lintalee near Jedburgh when an English force under Sir Thomas Fitzwilliam surprised him. Douglas turned the tables — feigning disorder and then launching a devastating counter-ambush. The English commander was killed. The incident was celebrated in Barbour's The Bruce as an example of Douglas courage and quick thinking. Lintalee became part of the Douglas legend.
