006 | A small Knowe on Drumbuie farm, Known to the Shepherds & the immediate residents, but not generally, by this name. It possesses no interest and in what way the name originated there is no information, It may be conjectured that the Shepherds of the two Con- -tiguous farms, the march between which passes a short distance to the east of this little Eminence might frequently meet at this place and so give it "a local habitation & a name" - |
