010 | [situation] Nearly 1/2 a mile S.W. by S [South West by South] of the Village of Collessie. A small hill on the estate of Kinloch and bounding the park of demesne lands attached to Kinloch House from which it takes the given name. It is a long and narrow ridge shaped hill now covered with wood. It is said locally to be of artificial construction and was so formed at some remote but unknown period for the purpose of Flooding - and thereby rendering Agbatha Castle untenable. the body of water thus collected around the above castle and against this embankment caused the latter to give way at the western end of the same. two or three small dwelling houses near this spot are locally called Gaddon - from the Go down the water made here. |
