Statistical Account Mr William Imray, Banchory Mr William Falconer, Cairnton Cottage |
005.11 | "At Cairnton, on the east end of the hill and ancient wood of Trustach, near a steep bank of the Dee, there is a slightly hollow place, overgrown with birch, about 150 yards square, which, on its north and only open side, has two ramparts of earth, each 300 yards long, from 10 to 15 yards high, and 16 broad. They converge from the bank on each side, and complete two sides of a square, the rest of which is formed by the nature of the ground. They do not, however, meet, but leave an entrance at the angle about 20 yards wide. A large body of men might lie within them without being easily observed. The position is moderately elevated, and commands a pass between the heights of Inchmarlo and the Dee, through which the present roads lies. It overlooks almost every approach, and has the river immediately behind, and the Canny at a little distance in the haugh below. No traditions respecting it exist, and, as the spot is rather sequestered, it is very little known. But it has evidently been a strong and well-selected encampment. Its massive structure and general appearance, compared with their undoubted remains in other parts of the country, incline some to think that it owes its origins to the Romans. The name of the place (Cairnton) would indicate, perhaps, the site of a battle, but there are no cairns or tumuli at present to be seen." Extract from Statistical Account. |

Ordnance Survey - Kincardine 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.

The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
