"Fordoun (or Fordun as it was anciently written) is said to be a Gaelic word Signifying the anterior or prominent Hill and is very descriptive of the Village and Church of Fordoun, which are placed on the brow or declivity of Finella Hill, the most prominent hill in that Quarter. This parish was known by the name of Fordoun as far back as it can be traced. Fordoun was a vicarage belonging to the Archbishop of St Andrews, and was called a Mensal Church, the teinds of the Parish being allotted for the support of the Archbishop's Table, Forbes or Tytler

"says it was called the Mother Church of the Mearns. The mean length of the parish, extending from Southwest to Northeast may be about 8 miles, it is of a Quadrangular form and is bounded on the Southwest by Fettercairn, on the South and Southeast by the Parishes of Marykirk, Laurencekirk, and Arbuthnott; on the Northeast by Glenbervie and on the Northwest, by Strachan, which it joins on the Summit of the Grampians. The parish extends along the South Side of the Grampians, and on the North Side of the Valley of Strathmore, or rather of that division of it familiarly known by the name of the 'How O' the Mearns'."

Kirktown of Fordoun consists principally of the Church, the Churchyard, the Manse, and the Village Inn. It is romantically situated upon the eastern slope of the hill of Strathfinella, overhanging the Mountain Stream of the Luther. It is 5 Miles north-north-east of Laurencekirk and shares closely in the advantages of Auchinblae. "The Kirkton of Fordoun can scarcely be called a Village, for, beside the Manse and Schoolhouse, it can boast of only the neat and rural Fordoun Inn, and two or three additional Cottages." (New Stat. Acct [New Statistical Account])
This is the proper Village of Fordoun in which are the Parish Church and Manse, the Houses near the Railway Station to which the name of Fordoun is now applied have been built since the Railway Station was erected there. |

Cist & Urn found here |
Rev. [Reverend] Charles Buchan D.D. [Doctor of Divinity]
Mr. David Gibson ground officer |
016.13 |
About 20 years ago when Mr. David Gibson was employed trenching a field called Loanhead, he accidentally came upon a Stone Cist. It was near the middle of the Knoll, about 4 feet below the surface, and the Stones which composed the Cist, were of the red sandstone Kind. The single stone which covered the top measured about 6 feet by 3 in size, and about 3 inches thick; the sides & ends were of lesser stones, from eighteen inches to two feet high; and the gravel formed the bottom. Remains of bones were discovered, and a clay urn was found, which contained burnt ashes, and black earth; but unfortunately it was allowed to fall to pieces by long exposure to the air. |

Cairn "About sixteen years ago, while digging for gravel, an immense rude
block of stone was found, from 12 to 15 tons weight. It lay near the
middle of the knoll; and on being blown to pieces, it was found to be the
Cover of a nicely constructed grave. The sides of the Grave were composed of
rude slabs, cemented together with clay, which, as I was told by a person
who was present at the discovery, bore the impress of the fingers of the builders.
The bottom of the grave was also of baked clay, and in the end lay a quantity
of black clammy earth." (Procedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.")
[Note] These are more like the
remains of a Tumulus than those of a Cairn.

Ordnance Survey Office
ABERDEEN 1st Septr [September] 1863
Sir,
I trust you will kindly excuse
me for troubling you with a question
which I am most anxious to solve,
and which I doubt not you could
elucidate for me, but the wish not
to allow any error to creep into the
Plans of the Ordnance Survey must
be my excuse for now writing to you.
The question I wish to ask is this: -
There are said to be the foundations of
a small friary in the glen, called
Friar's Glen, above Drumtochty, in the
Parish of Fordoun: This friary is thought
(& by many considered) to have been a
"Carmelite Monastery", & this presumption
appears to be founded chiefly on the fact that
the lands of "Glensaugh", heareabouts, were
granted by charter to the Carmelites in
1402, to which lands Friar's Glen belonged,-
Other facts lend their assistance in
favouring this idea, viz: that Fordoun
Church was "the Mother Church of the
Mearns", that the ruins of a building
of some description are still visible
in [continued on page 61B]
Drum Castle, by Aberdeen
4. September 1863.
Sir
Your letter addressed to me
at the Register House, Edinburgh, has
been forwarded to me here. I could
have wished before answering it
to consult some of the public
records, but at the same time
the case seems to me so clear
that I have little hesitation in
at once replying to the question you
ask, trusting to your statement
and to my own recollections of the
circumstances.
The Carmelite Friars or
some other order of Friars may possibly
have had a grange or dwelling
house in the Friar's Glen above
Drumtochty, but I do not believe
that there was any "Friary" there -
that is to say any church and convent.
We have lists of all the religious
houses in Scotland and in none
of these is there any mention
of a Friary at or near Drumtochty.

[Page] 61B
[continued from left side of page 61A]
in the Friar's Glen, that near these
ruins are yet to be seen the "Priest's
Wells", & lastly, that - no situation
can be conceived more suitable
for such an Institution.
Still I am disposed to hold that
although the lands belonged to the
Carmelites, yet that no Monastery ever
existed in the Glen; - this view is
supported by the author of the "Memorials
of Angus & Mearns", whilst on the
other hand the new & old 'Statistical
Accounts of Kincardineshire" give the
opposite view.
In this dilemma I should esteem
it as a great favour if you would
kindly give me your valuable as
-sistance, as I doubt not that your
researches have enabled you to form
a very sound opinion on the matter.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedt [obedient] Servant
E.H. Courtney
Capt: R.E. [Captain, Royal Engineers]
P.S. Please write your reply on the
opposite margin.
The Rev. [Reverend] J. Robertson Esq.
[Registry House]
Edinburgh
[continued from right side of page 61A]
Nothing was more common than
that lands belonging to Friars or
Monks or other religious orders took
the name of their owners, though often
at a great distance from the
Friary or Monastery. It is a very
frequent mistake in Scotch
topography to imagine that churches
or conventual cells stood upon
such lands.
I am happy to be able
to say that in what I have now
written I have the concurrence
of one of the ablest antiquaries
of the age, Professor Cosmo Innes,
who is now at this place.
I have the honour to be
Sir
Your most obedient servant
Joseph Robertson |

A little to the west of the Drumtochty Castle, and on a hill called the "Castle Hill" are the foundations of a house called the "Old Castle". It is considered to be so ancient that there is not even any tradition connected with it: but the people in the immediate neighbourhood believe it to have been a Castle, and that is all they Know about it. But judging from the extent and thickness of the walls; would convey that idea, of its having been a place of considerable importance at one time. The lime has been calcined from sea,shells [sea shells] and formed into a gross matter with coarse gravel. The walls are about 3 feet in thickness and are level with the surface; property of Andrew Gemmell Esqr. |

This has evidently been a dwelling house
at some time, the extent of the foundations
and thickness of the wall are not of sufficient
extent to shew that it was a Castle, or Tower, but
as the place is known by the name given
it had better be written on Plan in Stump
and not shewnas an antiquity.

It is one entire mass of Sandstone, and is perfectly isolated, being separated from the Grampians by the narrow valley of Strathfinella, in some places scarcely 100 yards wide, its extreme length or base is about 4 miles, its breadth about 1 1/4 miles. The outline is tame and unbroken, and its elevation above the sea does not exceed 1000 or 1200 feet." New Stat Act P. 69 [New Statistical Account page 69]

It was broken to pieces in the taking out, and no care was taken to have it cemented or any proper measurements taken of it however pieces of the urn in question are still in Mr Thomson's possession and from the superior quality of the Clay the interlacing ornament and lackering, one might suppose the person interred to have been a person of distinction. |

[Continued from page 95] the Maormor of the Mearns. A rude unembelished boulder near Mondynes called the Coort Stane about 7 1/2 feet high is supposed by Professor Stuart, to have been the place of his burial. It is much more certain however that the name implies that the Stone had been used as the site of the Barony Courts of Mondynes, the lands of which were gifted by William the Lion to one of his Anglo-Norman followers". (P. [page] 24* Memorials of Angus & Mearns.) By A. Jervise.
"Until the time of Prof. [Professor] Stuart, the Murder of Duncan II, in Menteith in Perthshire was thought to be a settled point, but from the fact that he was slain by Macperader Thane of the Mearns, and on the probablity that previous historians, had misconstrued the meaning of the word Monathethyn, the Professor took a different view of the subject, and argued that the word Should rather be rendered "Mondynes", the name of a well known property in this shire. He founded his theory on the belief that in the chartulary of Arbroath the old spelling of Mondynes (Monethen, Minethen) was pretty similar to that of Menteith in the Chronicle, and further insisted that a field upon that property was called "Duncan's Shade," and a large solitary boulder in it, which many of you will know, and which is quite visible from the Railway had the name of the "King's Stone." Upon this point, I fear, the learned Professor has allowed his enthusiasm to get the better of his good judgement, for I have been unable to find any such spelling of Mondynes in the Register of Arbroath, as he advances, and besides, from a careful inquiry I have found no [continued on page 97] |

The Mearns, I think, has quite credit enough in the matter in having produced the person who so timeously rid the country of a tyrant and usurper, for the fact has never once been questioned that the Thane of the Mearns assassinated King Duncan.."
(Sketch of the History and Antiquities of the Mearns P. [Pages] 19, 20) A Lecture by A, Jervise, Cor. Mem. S. A. Scot. [Corresponding Member, Society of Antiquaries of Scotland] Mar 20, 1858)
After a careful enquiry on the ground I find that "Duncan's Shade", and the "Court Stane", are well known to the Old inhabitants in the district. Mr William Murray, W. [West] Mondynes states that his ancestors have resided on the property for several generations, and the above names have been handed down, he further states that he has heard the Stone called the "King's Stane", but it is best known as the "Court Stane". "King's Croft", "Kinglan' Knowes", "Kill Field," and "Kill Hillock," all in the same locality are also well known names, and would appear to have some connection with the scene of the supposed Murder of the King. Mr George Beattie, Cocketty, an old man, who was born on the property, states that he used when a boy to go across those fields &c, with his father to Glenbervie Church, and he always heard his father and other old men name the objects as above given, he has heard the Stone called the "King's Stane", but stated that it was more [continued on page 98] |

The Stone in question is a rough unhewn boulder, and stands about 9 feet above the ground which is here Slightly elevated, it is situated about a quarter of a mile east from the mains of Mondynes. "Duncan's Shade" is a tract of elevated ground sloping to the South. It is a continuation of the same slope as the "Brae of Mondynes", and the name applies to that portion of the slope which is situated immediately North of the Farm house of Mains of Mondynes. The name as written on the trace is near the centre of the ground which was pointed out as bearing the name of "Duncan's Shade". |

The place as marked on trace is pointed out as the site of the Castle of Mondynes. There has evidently been a building at this place, and traces of which appear to have been the enclosures of a garden, are yet visible, but the foundation of the building is destroyed. I have not been able to find any record of this Castle, in the Stat. Act. [Statistical Account], or any other book relating to the county, but it appears from what is stated in the "Memorials of Angus and the Mearns" Pages 24*, 94, 150 and 369, that Mondynes was a noted place in 1200-7. It is stated in the last named page (369) that, "William of Montfort and Humphrey of Berkely were probably settled there in 1178-98." The name "Castleton", which applies to the Farm steading close by would also lead to the supposition that a castle had stood here. The site as pointed out is on a natural ridge or elevation immediately north of the Farm Steading of Castleton, the property of William Forbes Esqr.

"On the hill above Newlands, there are the remains of what is called a Druidical Temple, and a similar one in a clump of trees near Castleton on the estate of William Forbes Esqr."
(New Stat. Act. P 86) [New Statistical Account Page 86]
The site of the place above mentioned is a natural elevation situated between the Farm houses of Castleton and West Mondynes on a tract of ground known by the name of the "Monk's Park". The trees mentioned above were removed about twenty years ago and the place cultivated, during the process of cultivation and partial levelling of the hillock, the workmen discovered a circle of about eight yards in diameter, built of rough Sand Stones, and in the form of an "inverted Saucer", with its centre hollowed, the outside was built in the form of a retaining wall, with Clay and Stones, the hollowed part was about six feet in diameter, and four feet deep. In the centre, and about a foot below the surface, there was found a considerable quantity of burnt ashes, fragments of bones, black Unctuous earth, and a number of Clay Urns. This place was surrounded by a Circle of large boulders, some of which were from 20 to 30 Cwt [hundredweight] each. This circle was about 40 yards in diameter, and the Stones did not stand upright, but were piled together in irregular heaps, probably this might have been done when the ground was planted. Whether this place was used as a Druidical Temple, or Circle, is uncertain, but from

A Small circular Knoll Situated about a hundred yards S.W. [South West] of Templebank. That a building of some description crowned the eminence is evident from the remains of large quantities of buildingstones having been carried away & deposited a short distance from the hill. I have been informed by Alexander Taylor Esqr. of Cushnie, who I believe is learned in such matters, that the name "Temple Bank" Temple Hillock or Temple Hill is only distinctive of the land being at one time in the possession of the Knights Templars.

allotted for the support of the Archbishop's table. Forbes or Tytler
Says it was called "The Mother Church of the Mearns " (New Stat Act) [New Statistical Account].
"The very old church of Fordoun which had stood 200 or 300 years, and was 100 feet long over
walls and 24 feet in breadth at the widest and 16 at the narrowest gave way in 1787 and was

Some years ago there stood at this place a very large Cairn, Said to mark the place where a reputed Witch of the name of Catherine or Katie, was burnt. About 15 or 20 years ago the Cairn was looked upon with superstitious dread, and young people were afraid to pass it after dark. Mr Garland states that he carted away the whole of the stones to build fences. The name was well known. |

Mr Garland states that when he Cultivated the ground at this place he found what was before always considered to be a natural Pool, to be a carefully constructed artificial Pond or Basin with the sides very carefully puddled with blue clay, and about 12 feet deep in the centre. What could have been its origin is not known, it evidently was not for a reservoir, as the Luther Water runs at the foot of the slope, and would scarcely have been made at so much trouble for a drinking pond for Cattle on a moor when a stream ran past it. It is in a bed of loose gravel where water would not remain except the sides and bottom had been puddled. Mr Garland considers that it was a Test Pond or place where they "Swam or Drowned the Witches" in early times. It is a very conspicuous feature on the ground. There is no mention of this in any of the records I have seen.

" St Palladius' Chapel is a building of great antiquity it measures 43 feet 5 inches in length 23 feet 1 inch in breadth and 22 feet 4 inches high in the east-end, one storey slated; and in good repair: It was near here where St Palladius was buried it is said, in a silver shrine; but afterwards, his body was removed from its resting place in the immediate proximity of the well, and the present ancient edifice called St Palladius's Chapel built over his remains in 452. He came to Fordoun in 432 having been sent over from Rome by Pope Celestine, to appose [oppose] the Pelagian Heresy in that year , and died at Fordoun in 452. The Chapel, in question is one of the oldest ecclesiastical edifices, in Britian; as will be seen from its date; and like the Well, it was a place of pilgrimage for all classes of the People. It was after visiting the shrine of St Palladius, in this Chapel, that King Kenneth III was murdered by Fenella or Finella, and his body brought back to Fordoun, where it was interred. In 1524 the Archbishop of St Andrews ordered the remains of St Palladius, then reposing in this Chapel, to be reenclosed in a Silver shrine and readorned with precious Stones. The building itself bears the marks of remote antiquity; having no particular Style of Architecture. In the east end of the Chapel, there is still the arch where x over [continued on page 130] |

"where in the Altar Stood, and where the shrine of St Palladius was exhibited. near to it is the Piscina and on the other side the little stone [Peess] in which the sacramental elements were Kept. The Altar Arch is Norman; that of the Piscina Gothic; refuting the reputed theory, that the latter, at least, was introduced from Spain in the 12th Century. Both arches were in all likelihood in the Chapel in the 5th Century. There is a vault beneath & extending, from side to side of the Chapel, and about half the length of it , and excavated out of the Solid Rock. It Contains niches all round its walls: in which doubtless were suspended Lamps and images of the Virgin Mary. Many Skulls and bones were found in it; and it was likely the place of interment of the Incumbent of the Parish in Popish, Episcopal, and Presbyterian Times. The last Minister buried here, was the Rev [Reverend] Thomas Forbes, nearly 100 years ago. It is no unreasonable conjecture to Suppose that here the celebrated John -de - Fordoun, Bishope, of the Roman Church, and author of the Scotch=ronican, was incumbent of the Parish in 1377, as in that year he dedicated his work to the Archbishop of Glasgow".

"Out of revenge She (Finella, wife of the Chief of the Mearns.) had the King (Kenneth III) murdered within the walls of Kincardine, her reputed residence she having treacherously invited him into her Castle, while he was on a Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St Palladius at Fordoun. - Apart from the Stone Circle on the Hill of Hershca, the Roman Camps at Fordoun and Clattering Brigs, and some other ancient traces, the Parish of Fordoun is remarkable as having been one of the earliest seats of the Christian faith in Scotland. St Palladius is said to have settled there in the fifth Century and his church occupied the same romantic Site as the Parish Kirk of the present day, while a copious well at the same place still preserves his name, as does also an annual market in the neighbourhood vulgarly called Paddy Fair. St Palladius died and was buried at Fordoun and as tradition relates many persons made long and arduous pilgrimages to his Shrine. among these were Kenneth III whose tragical death has already been alluded to, and Arch Bishop Shevez of St Andrews, the latter of whom collected together the bones of Palladius which ap-

"appear to have been then Scattered about, and had them put into a new Shrine made of Silver or, according to Butler he had the old Shrine enriched with 'gold and precious stones'. Palladius' relics however soon lost their virtue for the Reformation followed within fifty years, and Wishart of Pitarrow, the Selfish and Sacrilegious Comptroller of James V, is said to have enriched his own Coffers by Seizing the holy Casket, and Scattering its still more revered Contents to the Winds, from which time says an old writer the family never prospered. The older part of the edifice in the church yard known as St Palladius' Chapel was perhaps built by Archbishop Shevez but its architectural peculiarities are so few that the age cannot be ascertained. The East gable is obviously the oldest portion, it is ornamented by a small mutilated piscina terminated in a rude pointed Arch, hewn out of a single stone, and there also within an arch now built up, the ashes of Palladius are said to have reposed. - The old families of Halkerton and Monboddo bury in a vault beneath this Chapel, to one of the latter of whom there is a monument, with a quaint Latin inscription, and there also stands the Curiously Sculptured Stone, which local story associates with the murder of King Kenneth" - (Memorials of Angus & Mearns) |

"The old Barons of Glenfarquhar and Monboddo buried underneath this Chapel, which is now used as a female School, and at the entrance door Stands a Sculptured Stone carved upon one side. It is the only example of those singular Monuments which is known in the Mearns, if we except the fragments found in the neighbourhood of Stonehaven now preserved at Banchory House. The Fordoun Stone is said to have been raised to commemorate the death of King Kenneth III, who according to tradition was killed in that neighbourhood, through the Stratagem of Finella, wife of the Thane of the Mearns. Within the Chapel of St Palladius, (which is a small building in the grave yard.) the bones of that Saint are said to have been deposited in a niche in the East end of the building. The niche is now built up, and Surrounded by a plain moulding. There is also a curious piscina within the Chapel, it is of rude masonry cut out of a single stone, which measures 2 feet by 18 inches, the arch is 18 inches high and 11 inches broad. It is locally believed that this Chapel at the time of the reputed death of St Palladius in A.D. 452, and keeping this in mind some think that the Gothic arch of the Piscina is one of the earliest known examples of the kind existing in Scotland, ideas however for which there appear no good grounds."

[Continued from Page 133]
"Although the period when St Palladius' Chapel was built Cannot now be ascertained , yet we are certain the Chapel is of great antiquity. This is not only evident from the appearance of the foundations, but also from the universal declaration of the early Scotch historians, that Kenneth the Third, who was killed by Finella near Kincardine Castle or Palace in this parish, had come to Kincardine, in order to make a Pilgrimage to St Palladius' Chapel. Kenneth ascended the throne in 970 and was murdered in 994, and from the circumstance of his making a pilgrimage to the Chapel at Fordoun, it must have been a place of noted Sanctity before that period. There is a well in the Minister's ground called St Palladius' Well, from whence the monks who had charge of the Shrine and the pilgrims were probably furnished with water. An old house which stood at the entry into the Churchyard and was pulled down within these four years, in order to enlarge the burying ground went formerly by the name of the Manse, and perhaps was the habitation of the Monks. (Page 67) The Monks who had charge of the Chapel had probably been buried in it, as lately when opening up a part of the floor, it was found to be filled with bones placed under regular arches. There is, besides, a Vault placed at some depth under ground " (Page 80) (New Stat Act.) [New Statistical Account]

[Continued from Page 134
"There is no certainty as to the period when St Palladius' Chapel was first erected. Although the tradition is, that St Palladius lived and died at Fordoun, it is more probable that amidst the inundation of Monks which came early from Italy to Scotland some of them attracted by the beauty of the place fixed their residence at Fordoun and built there a chapel to their favourite Saint, pretending no doubt that they had brought Some of his bones and other relics along with them. These were probably placed in a humble chest at first, but, as the fame of the Saint increased, and, consequently also the pilgrimages to his Chapel, it was thought necessary to remove them from their first humble resting place to a Silver Shrine a present from the Archbishop of St Andrews". (New Stat Act P.66,67) [New Statistical Account pages 66 & 67]
"To the tragical death of King Kenneth, the fine Sculptured stone monument which stands at St Palladius' Chapel at Fordoun is Commonly supposed to refer- from the fact, no doubt that armed horsemen and some other warlike symbols are carved upon it, also because tradition says that the King was on is way at the time of his murder to do penance at the Shrine of St Palladius, for the part he is said to have had in the death of Malcolm Duffus. This Stone I may add differs from the great mass of Similarly Sculptured Monuments by being Carved only on one side and thus perhaps it was a lying stone, and may have covered the grave of some old Celtic Baron of the district."

1 "North east from Wardikes about twelve miles, there was placed a Roman Station at Fordoun, which was of greater extent than its remains seem to evince (2). It was Commodiously placed on the rise of the valley, that is known by the appropriate name of the How of the Mearns, which it protected, with the Country, Southward, to the North Esk, and Eastward, to the Sea." (Chalmer's Caledonia Vol 2- P. 177) [volume 2 Page 177]
(2 "Near to the Mansion house of Fordoun, and above about a mile, South South East, of the Church of Fordon there was an extensive Roman Camp, the ramparts and ditches of which remained pretty Complete, till about fifty years ago, since that time a great part of them have been levelled and the ground brought into Cultivation. Parts however of two of then still remain, these vestiges run (Over) [continued on page 144] |

[continued from page 143] run 2 "at right angles to one another, and seem to have composed the west, and north sides of the camp. The Luther-water which is here only a rivulet ran formerly through the west side of this camp, and on the east side of it there are several Springs. This strength is called by the people of the country, the West Camp. At a little distance eastward there is a very complete Roman Fort, which is supposed to have been the Praetorium of the West Camp. It is of an oblong rectangular form, surrounded by a ditch, and rampart. The ditch is eighteen feet wide, and is even now Six feet deep, but it was formerly deeper as the old people who reside near it, assert. The area within is, from east to west, about 83 yards long, and about 38 yards broad, and contains about 3154 square yards.Very near the south west corner is the gate, of the width of 22 feet. About half a mile north of this camp upon Drumsleid hill, there are the remains of a large *British *fortification, which is sometimes called the Scottish Camp by the people of the country. These notices are stated from very minute descriptions, and mensurations, by the Revd [Reverend] James Leslie of Fordoun, and the Revd [Reverend] Mr Hutton of Edzell which were made in 1799."

[continued from page 144] 3 * The Spear referred to is still in possession of Mr Carnegie it is of Bronze. This has more the appearance of having formed the Tip of a Banner or Flag Staff, than being used as a Spear. 4/6/63
"I may mention that I have a Roman Spear which was found in the Camp. It is of beautiful workmanship and of the hardest steel. The old man who gave it to me, whose Father found it, stated that when found it was inserted in a long Oaken Shaft which crumbled to pieces, and had a band, or ring of iron round the Shaft with the word "Agricola" upon it, which was lost." (Revd [Reverend] C. Buchan D.D. [Doctor of Divinity] Fordoun 4th June 1863)
"Near Fordoun house is part of a camp or Roman Station, it is about 90 yards long by 50 wide. Of this Camp nothing now remains except the Praetorium, but in the younger days of the present clergyman, he found old people who could trace to him a considerable part of the outlines of the Camp, which were most extensive, and had been defended by triangular forts, at the different corners, by outposts, and by a deep morass at the lower extremity. It was capable of containing a large army. The outposts have now been levelled, and the morass has been turned into a dry and very productive field. In trenching that morass the heads of several Roman Spears were found, one of which is now in possession of *John Carnegie Esqr, Redhall. A gold ring similar to what we are told the Roman Knights wore, was also found, and a number of bones have been dug up in various places near and at a greater distance from the camp. part of these were enclosed in rough unhewn stone Chests, and fell to dust when they were exposed to the air, - part of them buried underneath Cairns, and several were laid in the open fields, and were accidentally turned [continued on page 146] |

[Continued from page 145] up by the plough. In those urns which were found entire, there were generally a considerable quantity of calcined or half burnt bones. The urns themselves were of clay, of very rough manufacture, but retaining the marks of the strings with which they had been bound round, probably when forming. Means have now been adopted by the noble proprietor to preserve this Roman Camp from being farther encroached upon by the plough. (New. Stat. Act P. [New Statistical Account Pages] 85-6
All that can now be traced of the Roman Camp referred to by the above extracts is the Small oblong Shewn on Southeast corner of Trace 4 Plan 20/6. It is on a good state of preservation and the rampart and ditch very complete, also the gate on the west side. The Camp is planted all over, and when being planted the Spear referred to by Dr [Doctor] Buchan was found near the centre of the Camp. The Bronze article in possession of Mr Carnegie was found outsidethe Camp. Up to the present time I have not met with any person who can point out the place where the Gold ring and Urns referred to were found. Mr James Annandale Hd [Head] Gardiner and Factor at Monboddo House for the last 40 years states that he remembers the Morass being drained but does not remember of anything being found except the Spears and a Medal, he does not know the exact place where the Medal was found nor what became of it. |

This intrenchment is near the Summit of Drumslead Hill, on the top of a steep slope which over looks the Valley or Road below The people speak of it as the Scotch Camp. - Mr Annandale Factor Monboddo House states, thet he remembers the present wood being planted, and that before the ground was planted, the Intrenchment formed a very conspicuous feature,and commanded an extensive view, that there was no appearance of any formation of a Camp visible, only the line of Intranchment as shewn.- There is a circular hole at the South end which has evidently been a well or reservoir. It is about 6 feet in diameter and considerably deeper than the entrenchment. - The ground is now thickly planted and it was only by cutting off the Boughs of the trees that the intrenchment could be surveyed.- By what party the intrenchment was constructed is mere conjecture, In a Military point of view this Hill is the Key of the Roman Camp below, and when the Romans held the Camp they would evidently hold the Hill as an outpost, and it is very probable that the intrenchment was made by the Romans. |

About fifteen years ago the Fir Hillock was used as a gravel pit, and in the Course of excavation a Cist was found, it Contained fragments of human bones, and a large number of black jet beads, The Cist was broken by the workmen, and the beads distributed. Mr. Annandale states the beads were about the size of a halfpenny, flattish, with a hole through the centre, and appeared to have been worn as a necklace.- |

"On the opposite side of the valley on the West Slope of Strathfinella Hill, near the Mill of Kincardine, and overlooking the Ferdun. Stands (as tradition reports) Finella Castle or Green Castle, which gave name to the hill; on the Slope of which it is situated. It is placed on the top of the East bank of the Ferdun. Above the average height of this brae or bank, and on a distinct platform of Mould earth, a circular basin is raised to the height of 30 or 40 feet, being in all 80 or 100 feet above the river. The interior of the Castle forms an enclosure of perhaps nearly one fourth of an acre in extent, and is surrounded by a green Mound, of from 20 to 25 feet in height, the opening is towards the North East." (New Stat Act ) [Statistical Account]
"From the Circular Shape of this artificial mound and its material it has been doubted whether it ever was a residence, as here stated, but rather one of those Pictish or British forts Commonly called rings, and found in similar situations in other parts of Scotland. To accommodate this theory to our historical accounts, a probable site may be found for Finella's Castle in the remains of a [continued on page 160] |

"From Fordon about four and a half miles west north west, there was a Roman Post, at Clattering Bridge which is now known by the name of Green Castle. It was advantageously placed here for the obvious purpose of guarding the well known passage through the Grampian Mountains by the Cairn O' Mount into the valley of the Mearns.- I caused this remarkable Post to be surveyed in May 1798 it stands on a precipitous bank on the North East of the Clattering Burn, the area of the Fort measures 157 feet 9 Inches at the North East End, and at the South west 82 feet 6 inches, the length is 262 feet 6 Inches, the ditch is 37 feet 6 Inches broad at the bottom.- The rampart which is wholly of earth is in height from the bottom of the ditch 51 feet 9 inches." __ (Chalmer's Caledonia" )
" Green Castle or the Queen's Castle is another ancient fabric, and is situated on the Steep side of a hill about a mile north, from the ruins of ancient Kincardine part of which is said to have been called the King's Castle, it has more the semblance of a Camp than of a Palace being a regular square defended by a ditch so very deep that the excavated earth forms a rampart of from 10 to 12 feet higher than the interior which is a flat area of a quarter of an acre in extent. The access is from the east or the upper part of the hill. Towards the west it is by nature so precipitous as to be almost inaccessible and must of Course have been in those times before Artillery was known a place of great security. It is at present held in feu of the Viscount Arbuthnott by Mr Crombie of Phesdo who has lately planted it with wood which having every appearance of thriving will a few years hence be a very conspicuous ornament to this part of the Country. This place is thought by some to be the true Castle of Finella and its being situated at the entrance of Strathfinella and on the end of the hill of Strathfinella gives some room for the conjecture."

"At a later date Sir John Gladstone bought the lands of Phesdo, Auchcairnie and Pitnamoon. All these lands lay in the immediate Vicinity of the Old Palace of Kincardine, and soon after Bruce ascended the throne, he gave six acres of arable land in the tenement of Auchcairnie, "adjoining to our Manor of Kincardine", to his faithful follower, Sir Alexander Fraser of Cowie and Kinnell. Phesdo or as anciently written Fas-dauche of Phesdo (i.e. the arable land or davoch in the forest) lies close to the palace and about the same time as Frazer acquired the acres alluded to, Bruce gave the temporalities of Phesdo to the "Abbey of Arbroath". (Land of the Lindsays). The present mansion house of Phesdo is a good substantial building of Granite, and the two wings and Court Yard are on the Site of the Old House of Phesdo of which no part now remains. There is a good Kitchen Garden and pleasure grounds attached to the house but the walks &c are very much neglected. The House is not occupied. Proprietor Sir Thomas Gladstone Bart [Baronet] |

"On the Farm of Castleton of Kincardine, belonging to Sir John Stuart Forbes of Pitsligo and Fettercairn, stand the ruins of the Castle or Royal Palace of Kincardine. This Castle either gave its name to the County or took its name from the County in which it is placed. There are no records stating the period when this Castle was built, or when it was last occupied. It was a royal palace previous to the death of Kenneth III in 994, for it was occupied by that monarch at the time of his murder by Finella. This palace or Castle seems to have been a place of considerable strength. A morass surrounded it, a great part of which has been drained within the last thirty years. It stands on the termination of a small ridge, at an elevation of about sixty or eighty feet above the adjoining meadows, and has a commanding view of the most beautiful part of the How o' the Mearns. It appears to have been of a quadrangular Shape, of which little now remains except the foundations of some of the walls, built with all the solidity common in former ages. It was in Kincardine Palace, as Lord Hailes says (Note. [Volume] Vol 1 of his annals Page 293 3rd Edition) that John Baliol resigned his crown to Edward I of England July 2. 1296, and he quotes the records [continued on page 184] |

[continued from page 183] the records of this in Rhymer's Foedera, Tom II Page 718. As this is the last event of importance on record connected with the history of this Palace, it is not improbable that it was destroyed in the wars betwixt the Scotch and English which followed that event. The village of Kincardine now diminished to a few houses, once extended from the ground at the foot of the Castle to near Fettercairn house. It was the County town and the residence of the Sheriff, who held his court there until the reign of James VI When it was removed to Stonehaven. The village had its Chapel and its burying ground near the Chapel, its west-part and its east-part, and its Cross, the site of which is still marked near to where the Chapel stood. The Cross was removed to the market place of Fettercairn nearly a century ago. The names of the fields contiguous to the Castle or palace still retain an allusion to a royal residence, One Park is called "The King's Park," in which sometime ago a falcon's head was found. Another as tradition says was called, "The Chancellor's Park," and a large tract of ground extending from near the Castle to the Grampians, and part of the enclosures of which is still visible from the road which leads to the top of the Cairn O' Mount, is known by the name of "The Royal," or "King's Deer' or "Hunting Park," and probably was the park in which Kenneth was assassinated". (New Stat. Act P. [Statistical Account Page] 83-84)
Traditions - The most remarkable are those connected with the residence of King Kenneth III at Kincardine Castle, in this parish, his murder and the death of Finella. It is agreed upon by almost all the Scotch historians, that Kenneth was murdered by Finella at or near Kincardine Castle. The most probable account is, that the King having put to death Finella's son who had been engaged in 1 [continued on page 185] |

[continued from page 184] Engaged 2. in an insurrection against him, his mother Finella was of the royal family, and who is still spoken of in the Mearns as a Queen, vowed vengeance against Kenneth. Her Castle or residence, 2 (See Name Sheets plan 19/11, Finella Castle.) the site of which is still pointed out, lay near to the royal palace of Kincardine, and on the south end of the hill which is still known by her name. Near to the palace and consequently near to her residence was a large park or forest, the enclosures 3 of which can still be traced in many places, and which even now at this distance of time goes by the name of the "King's Deer" or "Hunting Park." During the residence of Kenneth at Kincardine, who had come there on his pilgrimage to the Chapel of St Palladius, he is said to have gone one day to hunt in this park or forest, and that Finella, having got the opportunity she so much wished for caused two assassins to way-lay and murder him" New Stat Act [Statistical Account] Page 79)
"The earliest authentic notices of the Castle of Kincardine occur in the reigns of William I and Alexander III both of whom occasionally resided there, During the time of the first of these monarchs it was a place of considerable importance, to which were attached all the officers common to a royal household of the period. The remote progenitor of the noble family of Kintore, was chief falconer or hawksman, in virtue of which he held the lands of Hawkerstown in the neighbourhood, and adopted the name of Falconer. It is also told but on much less reliable authority, that an early member of the noble house of Southesk, was constable of the castle, and for that service held certain lands in the barony of Kincardine. The only other traces of the ancient greatness of the palace are the names of adjacent fields, such as the King's and Chancellor's Parks. The Chancellor's and the Dean's Croft, the Deer or Hunting Park, the Countess' Croft, and the Earl's Inns, as also Lorimer's, the Archer's and 3 [Continued on page 186] |

and the Palfreyman's Croft. These names it will be seen differ from the Duray, Bakehouse, Brewhouse, Gardener's Hen and other Crofts, which are common in the vicinity of baronial establishments, (but which are also to be found at Kincardine), and as the greater part of those places are described as marching with lands belonging to some of the more ancient and potent lords of the Mearns, these may have filled certain Offices in connection with the Court as indicated by the different names. The Castle was picturesquely situated upon a natural hillock in the gorge or opening of the valley descending from the Cairn-o-Mount, and on the west side of the parish of Fordoun. Three sides of the castle were inhabited, and the chief entrance was on the South-East between two round towers, with another gate on the west. The sides of the great fire place of the hall were not long ago, entire, and the lower steps of a Staircase leading to an upper flat. No part of the ruin stands more than five or six feet high, and the whole structure measures about 130 feet square there was also a narrow entrance on the South, on each side of which were two apartments the one about 14 by 50 feet in size and the other 14 by 35 feet. Two apartments on the east size measure respectively 22 feet by 60 feet and 22 by 14 feet, the door to the first being quite visible. Record and tradition are alike silent as to the time the castle became ruinous. It was probably during the Wars of the independence, after which it may have never been rebuilt, for subsequently to King Edward's visit in 1296, all history is silent regarding it. It was one of the national fortresses of which he had seisin prior to the settlement of the disputed monarchy, and was governed for him by a person named John of Gildeford. Edward I visited "King Carden" on the 11th or as some say the 12th day of July in the above named year. It was his first stage after leaving Montrose, a distance of upwards of thirteen miles, and is described in the Diary 4 [continued on page 187] |

[continued from page 186] Diary 4 of his journey as "a farour', or more distant "manour". He received no homages upon that occasion, but on returning Southward, he there spent according to one account, the 2nd and 3rd days of August, and according to another, the 4th of the same month, and received the homage of Randulph of Kynnard, chief of the noble family of that surname and title in Perthshire. It was in this castle also that King John Baliol's resignation to the crown of Scotland was written out, dated the 2nd day of July of the same year, which day Edward himself was at the Castle of Inverqueich in Perthshire.
Tradition assigns a remote antiquity to the castle of Kincardine describing it as the scene of the assassination of Kenneth III, by the stratagem of Finella, wife of the Chief of the Mearns. Finella it is said was daughter of Conquhare, the Celtic Earl or Maormor of Angus, and her son being convicted of treason was put to death by order of Kenneth. Out of revenge she had the King murdered within the walls of Kincardine, her reputed residence, she having treacherously invited him into her castle while he was on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St Palladius at Fordoun.
Such is the story of Boyce, who relates the circumstance attending the murder with all the minuteness of an eye-witness, but less fanciful historians, such as Tytler, are of opinion that the King was waylaid or lured into a hunting match, and thus came unwittingly by his death, not within the Castle of Kincardine or by the poisoned darts of a brazen effigy as related by Boyce, but by the swords of a band of hired assassins. Wyntown, alluding to Finella's personal inability to put an end to the King says that "Scho couth nocht do that be mycht Scho mae thame traytouris by hyr slycht, while [continued on page 188] |

[continued from page 187] 5 while, in the following quaint lines, he points to the members of the King's own Court as the perpetrators of the deed, and says that it was done at Fettercairn, but others believe he was killed in the neighbourhood of Stracathro,
" As throw the Mernys on a day
The King was rydan hys hey way
Of his own curt al suddanly
Agayne hym ras a Cumpany
Into the Towne of Fethyrkerne,
To fecht wyth hym thai ware sa yherne,
And he agayne thame faucht sa fast,
Bot he thare slayne was at the last." (Page 85)
The first mention of any portion of the barony of Kincardine belonging to a subject, occurs in the time of The Bruce, when Sir William Oliphant had confirmation Charters of the lands of Morehouse in Edinburghshire, in exchange for the "Clausura parci de Kyncardine in le Mernis." The same King in 1323 granted to his brother in law Sir Alexander Fraser. Six acres of arable land in the tenement of Auchincairnie, beside the King's Manor of Kincardine. During the following reign it appears that the thanedoms of Kincardine and Fettercairn, with that of Aberluthnott or Marykirk and the park and Castle of Kincardine, belonged to William Earl of Sutherland, who Married Margaret sister of King David I.- The Earl of Sutherland survived till about 1388, but long before his death he had exchanged these lands with David II, for the barony of Urquhart in Inverness-shire, and in 1367 Kincardine is mentioned as held by Sir Walter of Lesley of Rothes. During Lesley's time David II, twice visited Kincardine, He presided at a jury Court there in December 1375, and there in January 1383, he gave, among other grants, a confirmation charter of 6 [continued on page 189] |

[continued from page 188] 6 of the lands of Urie in the Mearns, to his shield bearer Thomas Reid. Little is known with certainty of the proprietary history of the barony of Kincardine from 1383 until a late date. It appears to have been broken up into several Sections and of these the Earl Marischal and the old family of Strachan of Thornton had the principal parts. The last named had the Castelsted and park and the greater part of the adjourning crofts which bear the significant names already noticed, while the Earl Marischal had other crofts, together with the advowson of the Chapel of St Catherine b and the liberties &c of the burgh of Kincardine. But most of these lands and privileges were subsequently held by the Earls of Middleton, and the property of Kincardine, upon which stand the ruins of the ancient palace was bought soon after the fall of the Middletons by an ancestor of the present proprietor" ( Sir John Stuart Forbes Bart [Baronet] 1863)
County Town - "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 (Douglas' Peerage II, 192.) How shortly and sorrily it maintained that position is proved by the acts of Parliament, for these shew that in less than eighty years after it was made the county town, the Sheriff and his deputes petitioned for the removal of the Courts to Stonehaven, in consequence of the "extreme poverty of the accommodation at Kincardine, there being neither a tolbooth, nor any house for "parties to ludge into for thair internment", in which state it is said matters had continued "Mony Zeiris" (Acta Parl II.574) the free hostelry having been long previously abolished. The town of Kincardine had probably been in a poor state even when the Earl Marischal obtained the Charter, although a late writer supposed it was once a great place, extending 'from the ground at the foot of the Castle to near Fettercairn House," (New Stat Act P. [Statistical Account Page] 84) a distance of at least an English mile. That idea had been assumed in Consequence of foundations of cottages being often turned up in that line of road, which was the old highway from Kincardine to Fettercairn, but the real 7 [Continued on page 190] |

7 [Continued from page 189] real extent of the town in that direction had only been from the East to the West Ports, a distance of about two hundred yards.[a] [a]The distance is about 730 yards B.R. [B. Render] Although no house remains to shew where the town of Kincardine stood, the side of both ports, and also that of the Marked Cross, are still pointed out [b] , and the old burial ground of St Catherine is laudably preserved, surrounded by a rude stone wall, and overshadowed by a few trees. It ought to be observed that the Cross, now preserved in the Village of Fettercairn is a memorial of later date, having been erected by the celebrated John, Earl of Middleton, and gifted by him to the town of Kincardine. He was born near that place, and latterly assumed his titles from lands which he held in the Same neighbourhood, and the Cross bears his own arms and initials, with the Scottish lion and the date of 1670." (Memorials of Angus & Mearns P [Pages] 82-87) "The ruins of the Palace or Castle of Kincardine stand on a wooded eminence, which rises thirty feet above the level of the adjoining lands, at the foot of the Cairn O' Mount road. The walls are composed of chisel hewn but mostly of hammer-dressed stones, and no part is more than eight feet high- they are of great strength being constructed on the same sloping principle as Harbours and Military fortifications. The ground plan is still traceable, and it appears , that, independent of the foundations of the strong gateway and tower, (which project twenty or thirty feet from the main building, and a Surrounding ditch and defensive outworks), the size of the Palace had been fully five hundred yards in Circumference, with an inner Court of about two hundred feet. It was inhabited on all sides except the west which is composed merely of a wall, in which there is an entrance of great width leading to the Court, but the principle entrance was on the South. There was also a door on the North, about a five [continued on page 191] |

8 [continued from page 190] five feet broad, and two Spacious apartments measuring about fourteen by fifty feet and fourteen by thirty five feet, are on each side of it. Two other apartments on the east are twenty two by Sixty, and twenty two by fourteen feet in size. The front wall though mostly composed of watch towers, embrace Several variously Sized apartments. The outer walls vary from eight to ten feet in thickness - inner are about three, and some parts of the front so much as twelve feet. The time of the foundation of this Palace is unknown. Tradition asserts that is was in excistance [existence] in the time of Kenneth III, and some writers call it the Scene of his murder. It was Certainly of note in William the Lion's time, and was the residence of Edward I both on his going and returning from the North in 1296 and the Scroll of Baliol's resignation was prepared there. Perhaps the last charter dated therefrom is one to Thomas Raid by Robert II in 1383 when he had certain portions of Lumgair from that King. Kincardine was the Seat of the County Courts down to James VI time. It was then a place of Considerable importance with a Church and market. The Churchyard is still preserved, and the fair which was removed to Fettercairn at the transference of the Courts to Stonehaven, is known by the name of St Mark, to whom the Old Kirk of Kincardine may have been dedicated. A cross of hewn Stone, gifted to Kincardine by the Earl of Middleton, bearing his arms and initials E, I, M, and date 1670 is still at Fettercairn. It ought to be mentioned that the preservation of the ruins of the palace and the Old Kirk, [C ] is owing to the praiseworthy Conduct of the present Sit John Stuart Forbes of Fettercairn, who, on hearing of stones being taken from the Palace to fill drains, Put an immediate and effectual stop to the Sacrilegious proceedings."

[continued from page 191] "Kenneth III seems to have borne his faculties with much meekness. While he suppressed an insurrection in the Merns , which was not remarkable for habits of quiet, he put to death the only Son of Finella, the wife of the Maormor of the Merns, and the daughter of Cunechal the Maormar of Angus. Finella's Son appears to have fallen by a stroke of justice, but Finella's revenge was implacable, and restless for its gratification. Kenneth, either in pursuit of the chase, or in pilgrimage to the Shrine of St Paddy at Fordoun, was induced to lodge in the Castle of the revengeful Finella, near Fettercairn. This artful woman, was at no loss for the Means to obtain her long looked for end. She fled, but justice found her retreat, and punished her crime. Tigermach has recorded the assassination of Kenneth. This King's piety or remorse appear to have given Brechin to the Church. By his liberality to the clergy, the guilty King may have endeavoured to allay the torments of a mind, which was conscious of terrible crimes, his death happened in 994 A.D. after an active, able and guilty, reign of four and twenty Years." "Oggia 487, and the Ulster Annals state the same event under the year 994, and the Chron. Elegiacum [Chronicon Elegiacum] concurs in the time, the place, and circumstances of Kenneth's violent death." (Chalmer's Caledonia Vol [Volume] 1 P. [Pages] 395-6)
The remains of the Castle or Palace Consists of the exterior Walls, with some of the interior which appear to have formed rooms.The exterior walls are about Six feet high and eight feet thick, the interior are about 3 feet high and 3 feet thick. They are all surrounded with loose Stones, rubbish &c. and are partly grown over with grass. The two Towers at the South or Main entrance appears to have been rectangular as shewn on trace, but they are so much covered with grass and rubbish at the base that it is difficult to get their proper Shape. The large open space at the west side appears to have been the Court yard. There are no remains of a Moat or Ditch to be seen. The Castle is surrounded by a small Plantation. It is on the Fettercairn Estate, the property of Sir John Stuart Forbes Bart [Baronet], Fettercairn House.

"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.

There are no remains of this Tower, or Castle, to be seen. but the Site which was pointed out by Leslie Poustie (an Old Man on the Estate) is easily identified by the appearance of the ground and Small stones and rubbish remaining.
