| Montrose Basin (Continued | 035 | [continued from page 13] Some important channels run during Low Water which are well embedded in the ground, & have gravelled bottoms. These channels are numerous in Dun Parish; they seem to end at certain Level, for except Tayock Burn hardly any of them come from the land. The traces of a famous Dyke known as "Dronner's Dyke" is to be seen. It was built a good while ago by a Co who endeavoured to Drain & make arable land of a large tract belonging to the Parish of Dun - to Dun Estate, but according to the Memorials of Angus & Mearns, "the speculation turned out to be unsuccessful for the embankment had been scarcely accomplished when, by a sudden storm it was thrown down, & in consequence, several of the projectors were rendered bankrupt. __ The Basin was formerly navigable up the River South Esk as far as the Pier at Old Montrose, Maryton Ph. [Parish]. But it was only so to barge boats or small craft & passed up the river from the harbour by the "Inch Bridge" which is a Drawbridge. From this it will be understood that the River not the Basin was navigable to O. [Old] Montrose |
