Constabulary Gardens -In reply to remarks the Examiner states - "This is the name by which this piece of ground is generally known and designated in the Valuation Roll and other documents of the Burgh. It is derived from the office of Constable, held by the Earl of Cawdor (whose property it is) and may have been called Constable's Garden but that name must have become obsolete, as no living person ever heard of its being designated.
