020.11 | A modern built gentleman's residence, having outhouses garden's &c. attached. The property of James J. Kinloch Esqr. It is supposed that this name is derived from the Latin Castrum, signifying a Camp or fortified town, and General Roy in his military antiquities has stated that "the most likely place to examine and search for such vestiges would appear to be the south side of the valley near Laurencekirk Keir or Drumlithie". I have made careful search and enquiry but can not find any vestiges of a camp near this place. - [Signed] B. Render Corp. R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers] |
| Hogs Hole | Hog's Hole Hog's Hole Hog's Hole |
New Stat Acct [Statistical Account] Mr David Lindsay (Bervie) Mr James Watson (Boghall) |
020.07 | "Near the Hogs-hole from which the large Deer Horns already noticed were dug up, a stone hatchet and the metal head of a battle-axe were found. The head of a smaller battle axe was thrown up about two years ago, in digging a drain on the farm of Townhead". (New. Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] P. [Page] 161.) The Hog's Hole was formerly a Peat Bog, but the ground is now drained and cultivated, I have not been able to meet with any person who knows anything about the Battle axes. |
