Aberdour Parish
Plan 11-9
"The garrison however might have been starved for want of water, by cutting the pipes which conveyed the water to the Castle, from a Spring about 200 paces distant, some remains of which pipes have been found of late years by the tenants, in digging the ground between the Castle and Spring, And tradition says that it was this circumstance which obliged Henry de Beaumont the English Earl of Buchan, to Capitulate in the year 1336."
