Allan Bertram,of Ellengowan is mentioned ..he flourished in tempore Caroli Primi.
He was a remembered laird in the times of Charles the first .

Thank you both very much - I read all the Waverley novels some sixty years ago and would appear to have forgotten him! The parsing is now belatedly clear namely BE & RT

Yes. It's Be Rt for be right.
You are welcome.
