Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Ronald, Cabrach. Robert Grant Esq: Druminnor. Mr. McPherson, Correen Quarry |
052 | A lumpish mass of mountain over which passes the bounding line separating this Parish from Tullymessle & Forbes. It takes its name from the following. When the corpse of Lord Arthur Forbes or Black Arthur as he was commonly called, was being carried over this hill for interment in Kearn Churchyard, during a heavy snow storm; the bearers rested the body of the deceased on this hill. Thus the name Lord Arthur's Cairn; but there is no cairn as the name implies on or about the Hill at all. |
