Mr R Duthie Revd [Reverend] Alexander Silver C. G. Monro Esqr |
017.07 | "The trials we give to the reader without comment wither on the unfortunate malefactor themselves or on the crimes of which they had been guilty, many of whom, long past the memory of man, have publicly expiated their guilt on the gallows, and their dust lies in awful repose at its foot. The gallows was erected on the top of a piece of rising ground immediately between the mansion house and garden of Dunnottar. Not many years ago when workmen were employed in digging pits for the trees which cover the hill, the discovered quantities of human bones, which, there can be no doubt had been the remains of the unfortunate malefactors who were buried at the foot of the Gallows."
