Capt. [Captain] Gunn Braehour Marwood Sutherland Achscoriclett William Gunn Achscoriclett Donald Gunn Dalnahaw Estate Plan of Strathmore |
027 | This dwelling was built by Reginald Cheyne some time in the fourteenth century. "In this stronghold, the great Cheyne as he was styled by the Celtic inhabitants of the district, kept about him a number of retainers, lived in great feudal pomp, and chiefly employed his time in hunting. He was one of the Scottish chiefs and Barons who, in the parliament held at arbroth in 1320 drew up the spirited remonstrance to the Pope on the national independence of Scotland in church and state. He was also present at the disastrous battle of Halidon Hill in 1333 with Kenneth Earl of Sutherland." See Calder's History of Caithness P. [Page] 78. As all the stones &c. have been taken away there is now, nothing of it to be seen, but all the people about there know the Spot where it stood some of them having assisted to take away the Stones. |
