065 | "The following tradition, so well authenticated, is given in the form in which it was communicated" "Sometime during the reign of James the second, a person in the garb of a traveller called one evening at a house in Kintore, which appears to have stood on or near by the spot where the post office now stands. The stranger, after discoursing a while and enquiring about the news of the place, asked the good man whose name was Thain, if he Knew anything about the family of the Castle of Hall Forest, the ruins of which stand about a mile westward of Kintore, and being answerd in the affirmative, he asked if he would carry a message from him to Lord George Keith, to which he (Thain) Complied. On delivering the message, his Lordship asked Thain if he had any Conception of who the Stranger was, and finding that he had not, he informed him that his guest was no less a personage than James the second, King of Scotland *** " For this piece of service my ancestor got a part of that piece of ground in Kintore designated the Goose Croft, in the title deeds. The family records from that time, down to 1660 are so decayed and dim, that it seems to be impossible to read them. A document of that date exists which states that John Smith a burgess in Kintore, inherited that property as successor to his Grandmother Margaret Thain who is therein described as "guidwife of Braeneil", a farm in the vicinity of Castle Fraser in the parish of Cluny" Abridged from Donside Guide Book (Date effaced) |
