| Site of Kincardine County Town | Kincardine formerly the County Town Site of Kincardine County Town 1531-2 |
Estate Plan 1789 Sir J. S. Forbes Bart [Baronet] |
019.15 | "It was in 1531-2 that the fourth Earl Marischal obtained a Charter for making the town of Kincardine the principal and capital burgh of the County. A late writer Supposes it was once a great place extending from the ground at the foot of the Castle to near Fettercairn House a distance of at least one English mile, - but the real extent of the town in that direction had only been from the East to the West Ports a distance of about 200 yards." (Memorials of Angus & Mearns P. [Page] [87] The distance from the East Port to the West Port is about 730 yards there are no houses to mark the Site. When the Estate Plan was drawn in 1789 there appears to have been several houses standing at the two Ports, and near the Cross. The position of the Town near the Cross appears to have been called "Chapeltown" probably from its vicinity to the Chapel and Burying Ground. The proprietor of the ground Sir J. S. Forbes Bart [Baronet] remembers several of the houses being taken down and he Considers the Site as Marked on the Trace, to be as near correct as it is possible to ascertain from existing documents. - See Extracts for "Kincardine Castle.
