035 | An extensive and natural Basin connected with the sea, & having the South Esk flowing through it on its south side. It extends to the Parishes of Dun, Montrose & Maryton, besides Craig. At Low Water the general character of the bottom is blue clay softened on the surface like a muddy sand, which is the proper description, the Sand being caused by the washing over of the Tides. In some parts there is Mud to the depth of 6 feet ax [approximately] upon the Mussel Bed in this Parish. Sand is to be seen in Dun Ph. [Parish] particularly where it marches with Craig & Montrose at the mouth of Tayock Burn. [continued on page 14] |
