Mr Greig an old intelligent man whose ancestors were Baron Bailiffs of this district for centuries past Says he has always heard it Stated that a British Camp was erected here by Galacus the Horestic or Caledonian Chief, and further that it was from this Camp he Sallied out on the Romans when they were entrenched at Lochore. Nothing remains of the Camp now Save the Slight appearance of an old Bank on the South Side. The north side was defended by a natural Steep Bank. No entrenchments as described by Sibbald are to be found now. |

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.
