Mr Philips Mr Brown, Meersman Lochhead Mr Liddell |
036 | [Situation] ½ W [West] by S [South] of Newton farm house. These braes extend from the old road (now a track) which runs South towards Drumpuddock Wood from the Road leading from Auchtertool to Stewarts Arms near the Pilkham Toll bar, to the New Farm at a point where they are no longer shaded on Trace. These braes present a most striking view from the South or viewed from their base presenting perpendicular sides covered with Furze and Slopes that forbid ascent: they are evidently a continuation of either the Pilkham or Cullelo hills, but these losing that altitude necessary for a hill or dwindling down to petty eminence about, the neighbourhood of the Road leading N. [North] from the Road before mentioned towards Craigton farm receive no appellation beyond the Eastern line of Pilkham Hills except the "Newton Braes". |

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
