Elsewhere*, we are given a slightly different story which says that
she
must be awakened
by the sound of a trumpet which must be heard in one of the lower
apartments before she
makes her appearance to point to the spot where the treasure lies.
* Slezer in his Theatrum Scotia (1693)
Question: Is Slezer's "Theatrum Scotia" available
via the internet or
other means?

I'm afraid not. My quote came from an old publication on Midlothian
Castles.
However, Theatrum Scotia will certainly be in the Advocates'
Library in Edinburgh
but I am trying to obtain my own copy for the Niven Sinclair Library and
Study
Centre at Noss Head in Caithness which will become the repository
of:
all
my own library of books and manuscripts the
late Jim Whittall's LIbrary Andrew
Sinclair's research material
Ian Sinclair is currently preparing the library at his own (considerable)
expense
and with his own (considerable) hard work. He deserves a medal and
the thanks
of us all.
