Revd. Dr. [Reverend Doctor] Pratt. Mr. Murray. Mr. Thomas Logan. Midmill |
031 | About two hundred yards north from the points of confluence, and immediatly westward from the farmhouse of Midmill, is the Fairy Hillock, an abrupt eminence, thought by some to be partly artificial. There can be little doubt but that it was a place of some note in those remote ages, of which the history is lost. There is a local tradition, that a crofter, about the middle of the last century, when digging for the foundations of a cottage on the western slope, came upon one or more of those subterranean structures known as Picts' Houses. Extract from Pratt's. Buchan page 44. |
