| List of names as written | Various modes of spelling | Authorities for spelling | Situation | Description remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TEA WELL | Tea Well Tea Well Tea Well |
Mr. Smith, Kirkburn Mills. Mr. Murray, Springbank. Mr. Taylor, Bookseller. |
023 | This well is in a niche of the wall, on the road leading to the Manse, to which there is access by a stone stair. The name originated from the water having been at one time much used by the inhabitants, for domestic purposes, and chiefly for Tea, on account of its softness. Since the erection of the Reservoir in town it remains neglected. |
| GRAVE [Peterhead] | Grave Grave Grave Grave |
Mr Youle, Cairntrodlie. Mr Mason, Cairnfield Cottage. Mr Hutchison, Springfield. Mr Murray, Springbank. |
023 | Very little can be gathered to identify this with the name. In Buchan's Annals which is somewhat traditionary it is called the "Unknown Grave" and although the field is occasionally ploughed, it remains untouched. Some say that many years ago, two persons named Cairn & Trodle fought a duel in which one or both were killed and buried in this spot (hence the name of the suburb Cairntrodlie) over which was heaped a Cairn of stones. A few years ago a Mr Ross of Cairntrodlie shaped it like a grave and planted it around with willows in which form it remains at present. The average of my informants consider it a myth. |
