| Town Wall (Continued) | [continued from page 67] (although this may have resulted from being hastily built in time of danger at this particular spot) At a height of 7 to 8 feet from the base a ledge of stone work ran round the interior of the wall forming a covered way about 18 or 20 Inches wide apparently for the use of archers or musketeers & which ledge was reached from steps built at intervals. The whole was surmounted by battlements of about 18 inches the portions between the embrasures being pierced in the centre with a small loop hole. At no spot along the line of wall now standing can its full proportions be seen at a glance, the ground having been filled up on either side to the height of from 5 to 6 feet, but portions of stone lintels & sills belonging to the ancient outlets or doors amply elucidate this point [Signed] S.

Ordnance Survey - Angus county
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 county of Angus, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
