039 | A small building on the Island of Inch Garvie, understood, by the persons whose names are quoted in the Column for Authorities, to have been erected in the Reign of James IV, and to have been subsequently used as a State prison - being at that time fortified. It was repaired and mounted with cannon during the late war. It also was repaired at the time "Paul Jones" appeared in the Firth. From that time the buildings and Battery were allowed to go to ruin. The guns which were there have been long since removed. The House or castle as it is called, is in a very ruinous state. The most part of the roof having fallen in lately. The Battery is in better preservation and has a modern appearance. |

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.
