Parish of Fordoun
Smart's Cairn [note]
The tradition about this, is similar to the Story
of St George and the Dragon, but the monster
slain at this place was a huge Serpent.
The Cairn in all probability is a relic of
Druidism, in connection with those on the
Hill of Garvock, which are all seen from
this place. [Signed] B. Render Corpl R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers}

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 Kincardine, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
