095 | A large and commodious mansion three storeys i height together with a large farmsteading a short distance north of the same, the whole is slated and in very good repair, property and residence of Major Graeme. "There is a curious relic in the family of Inchbrakie, and the history of it is as curious as itself. It is well known that, at no very distant period, there was a war of extermination carried on against those hapless women who were suspected of being witches; and the last who fell a victim in this quarter, is reported to have been one of the name of Catherine McNiven, who was burnt at the north-east shoulder, of the Cnoc of Crieff, at a spot which is called "Kate McNiven's Criag" to this day. All accounts agree in giving credit to the Laird of Inchbrakie, for having excited himself to the utmost to save poor Kate's life, though his exertions proved in vain. When the flames were lighted, and sufferings commenced, she is said to have uttered various predictions against her enemies, - and, turning round to Inchbrakie, to have spit a bluish stone out of her mouth, which she requested him to take and keep, declaring that, so long as it was preserved in the family, his race would never cease to thrive. The stone resembles, and is said to be, an uncut sapphire. It is now set in a gold ring, and is most carefully preserved. The story of "Inchbrakie's Ring" may not be an unfit companion to the celebrated Lockart Lee-Penny of the West." New Statistical Account |
