"In ancient records the name is variously written Foderesach, Fethiresach, Fetheressow &c. An eminent Celtic Scholar states, that Fiathair, (Fiatha and ar) signifies lay land, or wild and uncultivated land; (Fea and ar) boggy land. Essach, a waterfall, cataract, cascade, - so that Feather-esso seems to signify the uncultivated, or marshy, or boggy land, in the vicinity of the waterfall. There is a beautiful Waterfall on a small scale, near the burying ground, but none of any considerable extent in the Parish. The Parish is about 10 Miles in length, between 5 and 6 in breadth, and comprehends 24914 acres. It is bounded on the South by the parish of Dunnottar, on the west, by Glenbervie, Durris, and Maryculter, and Banchory Devenick, and on the East by the German Ocean. Its Southern extremity is 115 Miles north of Edinburgh and 15 South of Aberdeen. Its surface is irregular but not mountainous, presenting a landscape varying from the most pleasing to the most bleak. The new town of Stonehaven, the banks of the Carron and Cowie through the whole of their course, the grounds adjoining Fetteresso Castle, Ury, Rickarton and Netherley, may be considered as belonging to the former. Nor is their wanting at Elsick, Muchals, and Cowie, and in the bold Rocky coast much that is also pleasing to the eye. Most of the other districts, particularly the great common of Cowie, in the centre of the parish, are bleak, [continued on page 2] |

A small wooded Enclosure on the estate of Elsick within which stood a Chapel. The foundations are still traceable although the building has entirely dissappeared. This was probably a domestic Chapel attached to the house of Elsick. Up to the period of their attainder this was used as a place of sepulture by the Bannerman family & since then there have been occasional interments here. A gravestone bearing dates of the 17th & 18th Centuries covers portion of what appears to have formed an Aisle of the Chapel. It would seem that the Burial place was confined to the area of the Chapel. |

It is stated that there stood at this place some time ago a large Cairn of Stones, the greater portion of which have been removed. The base of the Cairn can still be traced on the ground, and a large quantity of stones remain. There is no record of any Mortuary remains having been found here, but from the elevated situation of the Cairn it has evidently been erected for Sepulchral or Monumental purposes.

Robert Walker Esqr |

"Muchals Castle was built by one of the Barnetts of Leys - the hall has a fine Stucco ceiling containing portraits of heroes famous in Old Testament and Roman history with the Royal arms of Scotland over the Chimney." (Memorials of Angus & Mearns P. [Page] 20. *
A good substantial building of the Castellated Style of architecture common to the seventeenth century. The lower rooms are all arched, or vaulted, with stone and there appears to have been very little wood used in the construction of the building. There is some very fine ornamental work on the ceiling of the upper Rooms, and the Ceiling of the great hall above mentioned is in excellent preservation. There is a gloomy looking vault on the south side of the Castle, it is in a ruinous state and in all probability may have been used as the Donjon Keep or Prison. There is a slab over the entrance to the court yard on which it is stated that the North and East portions of the Castle was begun in 1619 and finished in 1627, but there is a tradition in the district that the South portion is much earlier and the appearance of the vault above mentioned would lead to this supposition.

(Site of Chapel) |
Mr. James Duthie
Mr R. Walker |
012.04 |
During the early part of the present Century there stood at the place marked an "Old Chapel" which was demolished about 50 years ago. I have not seen any mention of this in any of the records of the parish, but Mr James Duthie who resides at Whinbrae says that he has attended the service in the Chapel when he was a young boy. He says that the building stood "East & West", and had a very ancient appearance, and up to the time it was demolished it was used by the Episcopalians, and the Priest's residence was at "Boudenwaird". Mr Robert Walker of Hillside corroborates the statement made by Mr Duthie. B Render Corpl. R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers] 23/9/64 |

A large Camp on the Estate of Rickarton about 3 miles north from Stonehaven. This Camp appears to have been defended by a Rampart and Ditch part of which are still in a good state of preservation on the North, East, and West sides, also three small portions on the South side. (See portions shaded Black on Traces.) The portions shaded Blue are very faint but with the assistance of the adjoining tenants who levelled those portions during the process of Cultivation I easily made out the site of the Rampart and Ditch by the undulations on the ground. The portions dotted in Blue and marked Dfd, on Traces can not be traced on the ground, but they agree with the descriptions etc. as pointed out by the tenants. The whole has [continued on page 100] |

Aberdeen 26th April 1865.
After inspecting this Camp on the ground, and comparing it with
others that exist in Scotland, I cannot but think that it is
undoubtedly Roman, and not Caledonian, although differing
in some respects from the common Roman Camps in this country.
The regularity of its faces, its great size (containing an Area
of 97 acres, sufficient for the accommodation of a large army,)
the Traverses (depicted by Genl. [General] Roy but not now existing,)
covering each of its Six Gates, all tend to strengthen this conviction,
besides the fact that it is totally unlike any other Caledonian work
at all existing in Scotland.
On the question whether this ground was actually the scene of
the celebrated "Battle of Mons Grampius" as maintained by many
Authorities it is difficult to form an opinion. The country hereabouts
forms an excellent site for a Battle field, and the many remains
here found show that some considerable action was certainly
fought; while the names of the various Hills all denote some
alllusion to a fight. It would appear however that the "Mons
Grampius" of Tacitus was a solitary detached Mountain, and
Dr. [Doctor] Robertson (the learned Vice-President of the Society of Antiquaries
of Scotland) states that "the mistake of giving the name of Mons"
"Grampius to the range of Hills running across Scotland goes"
"no further back than 1525, when Hector Rosa published his"
"foolish and fabulous History of Scotland." Whether or not
this was actually the scene of that Battle, and whether the
Romans at a subsequent invasion converted this Camp
from it's Caledonian form into one more nearly resembling
their own, must now remain matter for conjecture. I have
consulted both Dr. [Doctor] Robertson and Mr. Alexander Thomson of Banchory
both of them members of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland
and find them unanimous in not considering this to have been

been compared with the Plan of this Camp as shewn in "Roy's Military Antiquities Plate 50".
General Roy's Plan is pretty good on the North, East, and West Sides, but very much in error
on the South side, of the Six gates and their defences as Shewn on Roy's Plan not a vestige
remains nor could I meet with any person who remembers seeing them.-
There is nothing definite about the origin of this Camp, some suppose it to be British, or Caledonian,
and others consider it to be Roman. Its irregular formation would lead to the supposition
that it was a British or Caledonian Post originally, and that after the defeat of Galgacus it was
probably occupied by the Romans, The summit of Garrison Hill commands a very extensive
view. "Kempstone Hill", "Hill of Megray", and the Bay of Stonehaven can be clearly seen from
it also the valley through which the Slug Road runs for a considerable distance, for
a Camp, or Post of observation for an army, a more likely place could not have been chosen.
The undermentioned Roman Remains are Said to have been found in and around
the Camp and neighbourhood.

and the Caledonians under Galgacus, as the whole of the Scenery etc agrees with the description and
remarks of the Roman Historian Tacitus, and the names of the Hills etc in the district when traced

"The nature of a country will always in a great degree determine the general prin-
ciples upon which every war there must be conducted. In the course of many years, a
morassy Country may be drained, one that was originally Covered with wood may be
laid open, or an open country may be afterwards inclosed, yet while the ranges of
mountains, the long extended valleys, and remarkable rivers continue the same, the
reasons of war cannot essentially change. Hence it will appear evident, that what
with regard to situation was an advantageous post, when the Romans were carrying
on their Military operations in Britain, must, in all essential respects continue to be a
good one now proper allowances being made for the difference of [Arms] and other

"changes which have taken place between the two periods. It is from reflections
of this sort that Military men when they perceive the vestiges of Ancient Roman
works, are naturally led to endeavour to find out the reasons by which that people
were guided in conducting their wars, and as far as these are found to agree with the
general principles depending on the local situation of the Country, and with the par-
ticular Circumstances related in history, they thereby attempt to trace the movements
of the Roman armies." (Roys Military Antiquities of the Romans in Britain P [Page] 1 & 2)

"An. C. [Anno Christi] 84 Early the next year being the Seventh of the war, the Britons as we have Seen not
in the least discouraged by the unfavourable issue of the former campaign,
and finding from fatal experience, that a general confederacy was the surest,
if not the only means left to repel the common danger, had, by embassies and
entreaties, drawn together the united forces of all their communities. Already
thirty thousand men in arms were encamped on the face of the Grampian
Mountains, under the Command of Galgacus, he who among their several chiefs
surpassed all in valour, as well as in birth, and therefore was judged most
worthy of leading them to action. The youth too, continued still to flock to his
Standard, also such of the elderly men as were yet vigorous and able to serve, they,
who had distinguished themselves in the wars, carrying with them the ensigns
of honour formerly gained in the field. In this situation of affairs Agricola
sent forward his fleet, with orders to make descents in different places along the
Coast, and by devastations and ravages to harass and distract the enemy. In the mean
time while he put himself at the head of the army, which he had reinforced with
some of the bravest Britons, such whose fidelity he could depend upon, having
experienced it in a long course of peace, and marching without his heavy baggage,
he arrived at the Grampian Mountains. Pl. [Plate] 20. The British host was

drawn up on the hills in the most advantageous manner, So as to make
at once a might great shew, and a very terrible appearance the first ranks Stood
upon the plain, the others rising successively behind these, one close above
another, as if linked together, till the brows of the hills were covered. Their
cavalry and war chariots occupied the plain before the foot with great
tumult and many movements to and fro. Agricola formed his army
in such sort that the strong body of auxiliary foot, consisting of eight thousand
men, composed the centre, on the wings were placed three thousand horse.
The legions, without advancing, were drawn up in order of battle just before
the entrenchments of the camp, as great glory and renown would accrue
to his arms, if the victory could be gained without the loss of Roman blood.
Besides they made the corps de reserve, that he could best rely upon for
the last resources, in case the auxiliaries had been forced to give way
Such was his first disposition, but seeing the enemy's Superior numbers
and fearing that he might be outflanked, he opened and farther extended
his line before the engagement began. Many there were who advised him
to bring on the legions, but he who never disponded, but in all difficul-
ties was ever firm and entertained hope, dismissed his horse, and

and advanced on foot before the banners. Tacitus having pointed out the
dispositions of the two armies, and furnished us with the harangues of of the re-
spective generals, proceeds to give a particular detail of the battle the principal
circumstances of which are as follows. At the beginning the engagement was maintained
at Some distance. The Britons being possessed both of Bravery and Skill, eluded the missive
weapons of the Romans, pouring Showers of their own upon them. Three Batavian and two
Jungrian Cohorts were the first who closed with the enemy, the others, incited by their ex-
ample joined in the attack, and made great havock among the Britons, whose Small
bucklers and huge unwieldy Swords, blunt at the point were unfit for a close encounter.
In the mean while their cavalry likewise took to flight, and in Such impetuous disorder,
that they violently charged and overthrew each other with the weight of their horses. The
war chariots too, which lately seemed So terrible to the Romans, mingling with the battalions
of foot, already broken and entangled in intricate and uneven ground, their horses without
managers, frightened and wild running hither and thither, now occasioned among the
Britons the utmost confusion, bearing down every thing before them. Those of the Britons
who were posted on the hills, hither to had no Share in the action. Despising the Small number
of the Romans, they now began to descend Slowly and in order, like men not yet alarmed
or pressed with any danger, and extending themselves round the flanks endeavoured
to get in their rear, But Agricola, who saw their design, despatched four Squadrons
of horse to engage them, of those whom he kept constantly near his person, for the imme-
diate exigiencies of the field. These having charged the Caledonians in front, afterwards wheeled
outwards and attacked them in the rear. The enemy at last gave way and were pursued

[continued from page 107]
"with terrible Slaughter, though they often rallied, and Sometimes cut off the foremost
of their pursuers, those who knew not the country, and who had rashly ventured too far.
However Agricola, to prevent any disaster from Such confidence void of caution,
ordered the Stoutest cohorts, lightly mounted, to range themselves in a Semicircular
form, in order to surround them, also some of the cavalry to dismount and enter
the strait passes, while the others beat the more open and accessible parts of the wood.
Night put an end to the engagement the Britons flying in confusion, not in bodies, but
Scattered and dispersed, each making for the most remote and desert places. Ten thousand
of them were slain, of the Romans only three hundred and forty, and among these
Aulus Atticus, commander of a cohort.
The succeeding day afforded a more ample display of the victory. On all sides there reigned a profound and
dismal silence, Solitary hills, thick smoke arising from the houses on fire, and not a living soul to be found by
the light troops. When from these it was discovered, that the enemy had no where rallied in any body, and the
Season being so far advanced, as to render it impossible to Continue farther the operations of war, Agricola led
back his army into the borders of the Horestians, from whom he took hostages. He then ordered the admiral
of his fleet to Sail round Britain, and for that expedition furnished him with proper forces. In the mean while
that the spirit of these new nations might be more thoroughly subdued by a longer continuance of their conquerors
among them he led on his army through their countries, by slow and easy marches, and then put them
into winter quarters." (Roy's Military Antiquities of the Romans in Britain Pages 18 & 19) |

"The nature of the country seems
to point out that the Caledonians
would take post on the Grampian
mountains, towards their eastern
extremity, where the plain becomes
narrow, from the near approach
of that lofty range to the sea. In
such a situation as this, they
would find it easier to hamper
the Romans in their movements,
than in the more open and ex-
tended parts of the country, and
therefore would as it were, force
Agricola to fight on their own
terms, Since he never could think
of penetrating into Aberdeenshire
by this gorge leaving the enemy
undefeated in his rear. *
Somewhere, therefore about Fetter-
cairn, Monboddo, or perhaps even
still nearer to Stonehaven, it would
seem probable that the battle may
have happened, but unless a num-
ber of old Roman and Caledonian
arms, should by mere accident

* Every possible enquiry and Search has been made
at the places mentioned. There is a x Small camp [In left hand margin:] (x This is Pictish I think) in the
Parish of Fordoun near Kincardine Castle, and another
Camp distinctly Roman near the village of Fordoun, also
an entrenchment on Drumsleed Hill near the last named
Camp, but there is no tradition of a Battle having been fought
near Fettercairn nor Monboddo, not is there any pass or gorge
through the mountains at these places of Sufficient
width or importance for any general to risk the issue
of a Battle for its possession.
Previous to the ground being Cultivated there was to be
seen immediately behind the present Church of Fetteresso
near Stonehaven a Camp which was considered to be

"be dug up in the neighbourhood of those places, or
that the vestiges of a camp should be discovered
fronting one or other of them sufficient to contain
Agricola's whole army, and at no great distance
from the Grampian Mountains, we never can hope
to be able to ascertain the particular spot. Many thou-
sand Chances there must be to one against it ever being
hit upon by either means, yet so many Camps have
already been found to exist in whole or in part, this,
of the two methods, Seems to be what would promise
most Success. The most likely places to examine
and search for such vestiges would therefore appear
to be on the South side of the valley near Lawrence Kirk,
Keir, or Drumliethy. That Agricola would choose
this side seems probable, since the enemy being in pos-
session of the Grampians, he would not have thought
it consistent with prudence to have encamped
close under the hills which they occupied. The
victory gained over Galgacus finished the Seventh
campaign, and with it put an end to the active
military operations of Agricola in Britain".

Romans, (See Copy of Essay by R Barclay Esqr of Urie and
Sketch at letter B.) The ground at this place on the
north and north-east sides facing the Camp at Raedykes
would not require to be fortified as it is a precipitous bank
in some places almost inaccessible, there is also a tradition
in the neighbourhood that an intrenchment extended from
this place to "Malcolms Mount". (See Plan 12/3.) The ground between
these places has been under Cultivation for a long time and every
vestige of the Camp and entrenchment destroyed. Mr Melvin of
Melvin's Hotel Stonehaven Station, (A very old man), says that he
can remember seeing traces of the entrenchment which appeared
to extend from "Malcolm's Mount" to the place marked B on
Sketch above mentioned (See extracts on Tumulus near this place.)
There are no vestiges to be seen, nor any tradition of a Camp,
or Camps, near "Laurence Kirk, Keir, or Drumlithy".

"From R. Barclay, Esqr, of Urie to the Earl of Buchan."
"My Lord
I Had the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter. Since that time I have been at
the Camp at Raedykes, but Could not take an exact measure of it on account of the depth of the Snow.
As soon as the ground is clear, I will send to your Lordship an exact plan of it. I suppose it contains about
an hundred acres, but this is conjecture. At present I transmit to your Lordship a rude Sketch of the Country
near it, which, if it can be understood, it will convey the ideas I have formed with respect to the progress of
the army of some invader, who, I suppose was Roman, as the Camp here described could not, I think, be
Danish, English, or Scottish. I suppose the Roman army to have proceeded eastward through Strathmore
and the hollow of the Mearns to the Coast, by the dotted line A, which crosses the river Carron Q which runs
past Fetteressoe R, till they arrived at a place Called Arduthy, half a mile from Stonehaven O, where there is
clearly the remains of a camp at the letter B, this camp was in my memory, much more distinct than at present, great
part of it having been destroyed by the agriculture of the Country. It is situated upon an eminence with a preci-
pice to the north, and is about a quarter of a mile from the Sea, which I mark P,P,P, and about half a mile
from Stonehaven which I mark O. From this camp at B, I Suppose the Romans proceeded north-eastward crossing
the rivulet of Cowie XX, which runs past Ury at S, Still keeping the dotted line A, along a Smooth bank and a
plain heath to C, which is a point where three morasses meet at VVV, and the only rout they could take in their
progress northward by the coast, and not far from the present post road at NN, At this pass I suppose they were
opposed by the Caledonians, upon Kempstonehill at I, which is dotted with almost innumerable small
heaps of Stones, and likewise three very large ones at LLL, called Cairns. There is likewise, at the two crosses
at KK, two Stones Standing on end, at the distance of about one hundred yards from each other, and about
ten feet high without any inscription. In each of these large Cairns Several Stone Coffins have been found

found, about four feet long, and in the inside Small Urns, containing a little earth. I have dug
to the foundations of many of the Small heaps, but never found either bones or urns. Their numbers
and appearance with that of the large cairns and the Urns found in them, leave not the least room
to doubt, but a battle has been fought in that place, and from the disposition of the tumuli, it appears
clear, that they who made the attack must have come from the South, and prevailed. If we Suppose the
Roman army to have marched from the camp at B, by the dotted line A, and that they were obliged to pass
between the morasses at C, it is impossible the Caledonians could have occupied a more favourable spot
to oppose them than the South Side of the Kempstonehill. By extending their flanks to the two morasses,
they were absolutely secure every where, excepting in front. I suppose the Roman General to have prevailed, and
the Caledonians to have been driven to the woods and bogs (now mosses) in the neighbourhood, which continue
for miles, at VVVVVV, and at that time is Supposed to have been all woods. The Roman General might for various
reasons, have been unable to pursue the advantages he had gained, and chosen to encamp upon the Garnithill
or Raedykes, at D, which is about two miles from the former place, and an eminence which commands a
prospect of the whole neighbourhood. There is a clear passage to it by the dotted line at the letter A. This camp
as I observed before, contains, as I suppose, about one hundred acres, has several gates, three of which are here
described at F,F,F, and covered by three redoubts at GC,GC,G, with an advanced post at H. there is a Druid temple
to the north-west at E. The line of circumvallation is rather slight, excepting to the east, where the ditch is very
deep, and the rampart formed by the earth high, and fronts the bogs, which have been woods, at YYY, where the
enemy seem to have retired. There are many reasons to Suppose this camp to have been Roman. It is situated
in the east end of the Gampian Hills, which here continue to the Sea, at UUU, it is the easiest part where
these mountains Could be passed, and appears to be the camp of an invader, who has proceeded eastward
through Strathmore, towards the Sea, as, I am informed, three camps nearly of the same form have been
discovered [continued on page 115] |

"discovered betwixt Perth and this place. It is not probable that a Danish army should have taken
that rout, neither are these camps formed like those of the ancient Danes. It is not likely that Edward I. or Edward III.
of England, made those camps, and we are pretty certain, they are not the work of any invader Since that
time. It has, indeed, been suggested, that the camp at Raedykes was the Station of a Scottish, army to oppose
the landing of the Danes, who afterwards encamped at B, and that they were attacked and defeated by the
Scottish army. Of this there is a faint tradition in the country, but blended with so many incredible
circumstances, as to render it very improbable. We have no historical account that an army of Danes
landed in this neighbourhood. Their piratical excursions did not commence till the ninth century
when they were taught navigation by the fugitive Saxons, who were forced across the Weaser by
Charlemange. Indeed, one or our Kings, who I think was called Indulph, is said to have followed a
Danish Squadron northward, which afterwards landed near Cullen, in the County of Boyn, where a
battle was fought, but no historian mentions, that those danes landed upon this part of the coast,
and it is very unlikely that Indulph, in his own dominions, should have taken the trouble to make
entrenchments in his way north. Several Roman weapons have been found in this camp particu-
larly a hasta and helmet, the hasta my grandfather presented to the Faculty of Advocates at Edin-
burgh in whose museum it now is. It can hardly be supposed, that a Scottish army who opposed the
the Danes, could have had Roman weapons, which must have been kept more than four hundred
years, as the last of the Romans left Britain in the fifth century, and there is no account of any landing
of Danes before the ninth century. Upon the whole, fairly stating all circumstances, particularly, that
this camp at Arduthie is situated upon the north-east end of the Grampian Hills, where these
mountains Could be easily crossed, and likewise near the Sea, where a land army could have "

"Communicated with the fleet, and where the ground was So plain that chariots could have
acted, I do suppose the Kempstonehill to have been the place where Galgacus was defeated
by Agricola. It could not be at the camp at Raedykes, because there is not the least vestige
of an engagement at that place, nor upon the Hill of Glithno, at WW, nor the Hill of Megray,
at T, which have no tumuli. Add to these circumstances that Tacitus informs us, that after
the engagement, Agricola led his army into Horestiam, which, I think every antiquarian supposes
to be the County of Angus. It is likely, that the Romans, Some time or other, extended their conquests as far north
as the Murray Firth, but it is probable, they abandoned those advantages in the Winter, for reasons that appear
perfectly clear. It does not Seem to have been of importance Sufficient for them to have defended, at a great
expense, a narrow tract of coast against the natives, and, to confirm this idea, I have not heard of any
Roman military way that has been discovered So far north as this. These military ways seem to have been
absolutely necessary where there were winter Stations, because they formed a communication from one
to the other. Those I have Seen are so raised above the common Surface of the grounds, that they generally keep
Clearer of Snow than any other place, and a Small number of well armed and well disciplined men
could, upon these ways, have easily defended themselves against very Superior numbers of barbarians."

"It is well known to every scholar, from the account of Tacitus, that about the year 84 of the Christian
era. Julius Agricola, the Roman general, having subdued the more Southern parts of Scotland led an
army of about 26000 men, during his Seventh campaign, through the country of the Horesti, towards
the north, and fought a great battle ad monteum Grampium, against the Caledonians, who
mustered upwards of 30000, and were led by their chief named Galgacus. The issue of the battle
is said by the historian to have been highly favourable to the Romans, yet from the circumstance of
their army making an immediate retreat to their former cantonments, there is Some reason to
Suspect that the victory then obtained has been a little exaggerated. Now the Scene of this action is
the point to be ascertained, and three different places are fixed on, besides some others now tacitly re-
linguished, at which it is supposed to have happened, while each opinion is supported by the arguments
of several learned and ingenious writers. These places are Ardoch or Lindum in Strathallan, Dealgin Ross,
near Comrie, in Strathearn, and a third Somewhere more to the north than either. Now it is agreed on
all hands that ad Montem Grampium means that long range of mountains still called the Grampian,
or sometimes Grainsbein, which extends across almost the whole of Scotland from west to east, between
Dumbarton on the Clyde and Aberdeen on the Dee, a tract of nearly 100 miles. It must, therefore, appear
extremely difficult to find out the precise spot in so long a line, especially as the authority we possess for
determining it is the description of a Single historian remarkable for conciseness, combined with few
local circumstances. Fortunately, however in this case, So many particulars of both are still extant,
or lately were so, that the author presumes to hope he Shall be able to point out the exact spot al-
most to a demonstration. It may here, however be observed, that Richard of Cirencester, though in
some respects very correct in naming and placing the various Roman Stations in this country,
has certainly erred egregiously in placing this mountain far to the north of Aberdeen, the real ex-
tremity of the Grampian range, and that according to him, it must have been either Mormond, in
the district of Buchan, or the Hill called the Knock on the Dovern, an opinion which is altogether
untenable. [contined on page 120] |

untenable. First, then, in regard to Ardoch, it is well known there is still to be seen at that place not only the
remains of a very large camp, capable of containing all Agricola's army of 26,000 men, according to General [Roy's]
Calculation, who was probably the best acquainted with the Roman system of castrametation of any modern
author on that subject, but also the strongest and most entire Roman fort to be found in Scotland, surround-
ed by five or Six immense concentric trenches, and situated upon a Small Stream, with a very extensive pros-
pect all around. Here, then, upon a large adjoining plain, according to Mr George Chalmers was the Scene of the
conflict. (Caledonia Vol. [Volume] 1., P. [Page] 113, Note.) 'Though Mr. Gordon was so idle as to place the site of the battle at the [Station]
'of Victoria, Pennant was so ill informed, as to confute Gordon's position upon mistaken principles, and [Pennant]
'supposed that the Scene of action must be near the Sea, where the fleet could co-operate, but the plan of the Camp
'only admitted of general co-operation. Pennant had attended so little to the intimations of Tacitus as to suppose [that]
'the attack on the ninth legion, in the preceding year was at the Station of Victoria, but we have already seen [that]
'the whole operations of the preceding Campaign were in Fife. There is no evidence that Agricola ever reached
'the Tay. The Tau of Tacitus was the Solway Frith. Maitland, who was the first antiquary, who traced Roman
'roads and Roman Camps beyond the Tay, was also the first who pointed to Urie Hill as the appropriate site of
'the battle of Mons Grampius. In his loose conjectures he was copied by Lord Buchan. and Roy followed
'who, in giving an account of the campaigns of Agricola, is always supposing what cannot be allowed, and
'what he cannot prove. There is a thread of Sophistry, which, as it runs through the reasonings of all those writers
'on this point, it is time to cut, for the sake of truth. They presume to think that Agricola was the only Roman of[ ]
'who made roads or constructed camps in North Britain, and that Lollius Urbicus and the Emperor Severus [never]
'appeared on that arduous theatre of war etc. etc. Colonel Shand suggested the camp at Findochs on the Arnon river
'in Perthshire as the place.'- Now, in opposition to the dictates of Mr Chalmers, the author with all due de-
ference, is under the necessity of Combating several of his positions, and of vindicating those of the gentlemen
whom he so unceremoniously corrects for their Sophistry and idle arguments. In the first place Mr Pennant
is fully [continued on page 121] |
|
| OS1/19/10/121 |
|
|
|
|
|
[Page] 121
Parish of Fetteresso
[continued from page 120]
is fully justified, as will be seen afterwards, by the express words of the historian, in Saying that the Scene
of action must have been near to the Sea. Pennant had also supposed that the attack upon the ninth legion took
place at Dealgin Ross or Victoria, which is still by much the most probable Supposition. But Mr Chalmers
is Still farther mistaken in saying that all the operations of the former Campaign were in Fife, whereas it is
highly incredible that an experienced officer, as General Roy observes, (Military Antiquities P. [Page] 82) would
have endangered his whole army, by allowing them to be shut up in a peninsula, or cul de Sac, as Agricola,
So early as the third year of his command discovered Fife to be. For this too there could be no manner of oc-
casion, having already with his fleet explored all the Shores of the Friths of Forth and Tay, as well as the contiguous
Sea Coasts, and making frequent incursions into the country for the purpose of alarming and plundering
the inhabitants. 'Praemissa classe quae pluribus locis praedata mgnum et incertum terrorem faceret -
'ad Montem Grampium pervenit, quem jam hostes insederant.' Of there being no evidence of Agricola having
ever reached the Tay, or that the Tau of Tacitus was the Solway Frith, it is unnecessary at present to make
any remarks, but it must be observed upon what he calls the loose conjectures and Sophistry of Mr Maitland,
Lord Buchan, and General Roy, that there is far more probability, if not truth, in them, than in all which
he and many others have written on the Subject, notwithstanding their imputed ignorance of the operations of
of Lollius Urbicus, and Severus, 'on that arduous theatre of war'. It is now time however after thus far clearing
the way, to state seriously the objections that occur to the author for Lindum, or Ardoch, not being the Scene of
this famous battle. The first is, that this Station is far too remote from the Grampian Hills, 'ubi hostes jam
'insederant', being more than a dozen miles from the nearest part of them immediately above Crieff. Again,
if this objection is not insurmountable, another presents itself, which if possible is still more decisive
of the point at issue. For, from the situation of Ardoch there is no view at all of the Sea, and, therefore the Roman
fleet could not have been seen from it, even had it Sailed up the Forth as far as Stirling. How then could
Tacitus have made Galgacus affirm to his brave compatriots, that the Roman fleet was not only in Sight
but near at hand, 'immenente nobis classe Romana?' Surely Mr Chalmers has either overlooked or mis-
understood this passage, otherwise he could not have obstinately maintained an opinion So untenable.
Other arguments against it, if more were necessary, might be urged from the immense works thrown
up [continued on page 122] |

[continued from page 121]
up at Ardoch, which the Romans could neither have had leisure nor opportunity of Constructing during
the few days of their stay at the Mons Grampius, and also from Ardoch being situated either within or
beyond the limits of the country of the Horesti, to which Agricola retreated after the engagement, 'in fines
'Horestorum exercitum deducit', besides the concurrence of all these circumstances in another place to be
afterwards mentioned. - Secondly. - There come next to be stated the claims of Victoria, or Dealgin Ross,
to the honour of being the Scene of this combat. It possesses, indeed, one advantage over Ardoch for this purpose
in being, as may be said, almost in the middle of the Grampian Mountains, but yet much farther from the Sea
or any of the friths, from which it must have been altogether invisible. Mr Gordon allowed himself to
be misled by its being called Victoria, a name perhaps imposed on it by the Roman General in order to
encourage his troops, Somewhat dispirited by the doubtful victory of the ninth legion. For there is really very
little reason to believe this place to have been the Scene of action. Tacitus says that Agricola Separated his
forces into three parts, - one of which probably remained at Ardoch, another was posted at Hierna or Strageth
upon the Earn, and the third, composed of the ninth legion, was pushed much farther into the hills, to Dealgin
Ross. This last being the weakest, and the farthest removed from the main body, would most naturally be
the first to be attacked by a brave and enterprising enemy, and the consequences of the attack appear,
from several circumstances, to have been more fatal to the Romans than their historian thought proper to
acknowledge, - for, after this Campaign, we hear no more of the exploits of the ninth legion, nor is its
name ever mentioned, So that it must have been either nearly cut to pieces, and incorporated into Some
other, or was Soon after removed from the island. Neither let it be considered as a Small honour to the
gallant body of Caledonians, that they were able to grapple hand to hand, in the very middle of their
Camp, with a whole Roman legion, and would probably have put them all to the Sword, had they not
received timely Succour from the nearest Stations of Ardoch or Strageth. Let it also be remembered
what this very historian says of Ireland, of his being informed, that, with a Single legion, the whole island
might not only be subdued, but retained by the Romans. Mr Gordon also takes advantage of another
name [continued on page 123] |

name of this place, which it is very doubtful it ever bore, Galgachan Ross Moor, as an additional proof of its
being the scene of the conflict with Galgacus. The real name in the language of the country is Dealgin Ross, nor even
were he correct in this respect, could that obviate or remove the insuperable objections formerly noticed. At the Same
time it may here be observed that many of the names of places in the Roman Itineraries, especially those of Rivers
may be discovered at this day from the names they now bear. - Thus Tince is the Tyne. - Hierna the Earn - Alsica
the Esk - Deva the Dee - Ithuna the Ythan - Varris, Forres etc. - Mr. Gordon's opinion on this Subject
was adopted by Dr [Doctor] Horsley and some others who probably never visited the Spot.
Since the time of Mr Gordon who published his Itinerarium Septentrionale in 1726, a great deal of
light has been thrown on the Roman antiquities of Scotland, by various eminent Scholars and indus-
trious antiquaries. It had formerly been supposed that the Romans never penetrated beyond the Tay, or, at
least beyond the Grampian Mountains, and a ridiculous fiction was published in Some newspapers in
1770, (London chronicle 24th July.) of a Stone having been found near Aberdeen, marked R. IM. L. intended no doubt
to be read "Romani Imperii Limes". But this does not deserve farther notice. Various tracts however, of roads
and Camps, far north of the Tay, were discovered, first by Mr Maitland, and afterwards by the Revd. [Reverend] Dr. [Doctor] Jamieson
and General Roy, to which last gentleman the public is indebted, as a learned professional man, for Such a
Splendid, and complete work on this Subject, as must for ever Silence all opposition, and merit the grateful
remembrance of his country. But, what added a new stimulus to inquiries of this Sort, was the discovery,
in 1757, of a work of Richard of Cirencester, a Monk of Westminster, accompanied by a Map of Scotland,
descriptive of that Country in the time of the Romans, and various itinera of Roman officers from the
remotest parts of England, at least as far north as the Moray Frith. This work, though recently discovered,
was found So nearly to correspond with Ptolemy's Geography, the Notitiae Imperii Romani, and with the
information [continued on page 124] |

[continued from page 123]
information obtained from all our other historians and antiquaries, - at the Same time Supplying
many deficiencies, and correcting Some obvious mistakes, that it is now considered as an authentic
document, and constantly referred to as the very best authority on all these subjects. General Roy
therefore being possessed of this work, and all other information that had been previously procured,
partly in the course of his Military duty, and partly by journeys made on purpose, carefully explored
and made accurate drawings, of the whole remains of Roman antiquities in Scotland, which with suit-
able descriptions, were engraved and published at the expence of the London Society of Antiquaries in 1793.
His account, therefore, is to be followed as the latest and the best authenticated of the Romans north of the Tay
and along the great valley of Strathmore, which runs parallel to the Grampian Mountains from Perth to
Stonehaven, a distance of about Seventy miles. By this open, easy, and direct route, the Romans certainly
proceeded northward, as every other invading enemy has Since done, and not along the Sea coast, So that any
vestiges of Roman Camps to be Seen near Dundee, or Montrose, must be referred to occasional landings
from the fleet and were quite unconnected with agricola's line of March. In this direction General Roy first
finds Richard's ad Hiernam, now Strageth, - then Orrea, Bertha or Grassywalls, on the Tay, where the
Romans had passed that Majestic River. The next station from thence, he supposes must have been at Meig[le ]
but the country is too much cultivated to admit of its being now discovered. Thereafter in Succession occur
the camps at Battledykes, between Kirrymuir and Brechin, along with Some others in the same vicinity, the
one at Keithock near the North Esk. After which, General Roy obseves that another Station should be
looked for near to Monboddo, in the Mearns, which has since been accordingly found hard by at Fordoun.
Here a Praetorium is Still distinctly to be traced, and also Some appearance of a large camp Surrounding it,
at the distance of an ordinary Roman march, about twelve miles from the one at Keithock, and the
same distance from the next Station at Stonehaven, where the real Mons Grampius will be
found [continued on page 125] |

found. "In this neighbourhood" says General Roy, (P. [Page] 86,87.) "we are to look for the Scene of the celebrated battle for
the nature of the country seems to point out that the Caledonians would take post on the Grampian Mountains
towards their eastern extremity, where the plain becomes narrow, from the near approach of that lofty range to
the Sea". - Of this great number of Camps, undoubtedly Roman, in the valley of Strathmore, General Roy,
who accurately surveyed them, and measured their Contents, expressly affirms that the one at Grassywalls
on the Tay is about the Same Size as the large Camp at Ardoch, which according to the Polybian establishment
would contain three legions with their auxiliaries, or 25 or 26,000 men, being the whole force of Agricola,
and expresses no doubt of its having been occupied by the very Same army which was previously encamped
at Ardoch. In the same manner, he Surveyed the camp at Battledykes, and he observes, "It appears to me
to be one of most entire of the kind hitherto discovered, at the same time that the similarity of its figure
and its dimensions prove indisputably that it held the Same army formerly encamped at Ardoch and Grassy-
walls" (P. [Page] 85.) With these words before his eyes, it would be difficult to Say what evidence could Satisfy
Mr George Chalmers that Agricola and his Army ever passed the Tay. It is, however, but doing that gen-
tleman justice to acknowledge, that in most other parts of his Caledonia he is not disposed by any
means to be so incredulous. - From the Camp at Fordoun to Stonehaven is about twelve miles, an ordinary
Roman march, at which the Grampian Hills approach So near to the Sea that the army of Agricola could
not have marched farther to the north without passing through them, as it will be found that under another
leader, the Romans afterwards did. Their Square-formed Camp, of which the traces have only of late been obliter-
ated, was upon an extensive plain above the New Town of Stonehaven, and hard by the lately erected church
and Minister's house of Fetteresso. The Caledonian Camp was pitched at Re-dykes (Re, a King) above the house
of Urie, upon the face of the hills directly opposite to that of Agricola, at the distance of not more than two miles,
while he had the Sea within somewhat less than a mile in his rear. This Camp of the Caledonians was formerly
Supposed to have been Roman, being an awkward imitation of their mode of encampment, fortified with a
wall [continued on page 126] |

wall and ditch, and having several gates with traverses in front of them. Upon examination, however,
by the author of this article, first in 1778, and frequently afterwards, - for it is still almost entire. - it was
found by him to be totally unlike those of the Romans in Scotland, which are universally rectangular, where
in this one there is not a Single right angle in its whole extent, which may amount to forty or fifty acres.
Besides this, the intrenchment is strongest towards the Sea, with several outworks on that Side, an evident
proof that they expected the enemy from that quarter. On an adjoining hill, called the Kempstone Hill
(Kemp, a fight.) were found not fewer than five or Six Druidical Circles, one of which contained three in a con-
centric form of a very large size, while all around especially towards the north, are scattered a vast number of [Cairns]
and tumuli, of different shapes and dimensions, Some of them being of great height and Circumference. At various
times also several heads of Spears of mixed brass, as almost all those in Scotland ascribed to the Romans are, and
other remains of arms and instruments, have been found in the contiguous grounds, Some of which were de-
posited, by the late Mr Barclay of Urie, in the Advocates' Library of Edinburgh. There was also discovered a few
years ago in the ditch of the Scottish Camp, a Small hoop or ring of iron of the rudest workmanship, and
much corroded, being about four inches in diameter, and very thick, which could be imagined useful
for no other purpose than to contain the axle of one of their war chariots. This last is preserved in the Mu-
seum of Marischal College. A drawing of this Scottish Camp, originally made by the author in 1778, (Intro-
duction to General Roy's work P. [Plate] IV.) was sent by him to the late General Melville, an eminent antiquary, and early
associate of General Roy, and another furnished Some years after by the Earl of Buchan was published by
Nicholas in the 36th number of his Topographia Britannica. There is also an engraving of it, though by
no means accurate, in General Roy's Military Antiquities (Plate 50). On the other hand, in order to identi-
fy the Situation of the Roman Camp in the plain below, among other relics of antiquity a pretty large Tumulus*

Barrow was opened in 1812, by the workmen employed in building the new church and minister's house
of Fetteresso, hard by, with a view of finding Stones useful for the work, when it was discovered to be entirely
Composed of a vast quantity of Urns and pottery of all Sorts, ashes, earth, half burnt bones, and charcoal.
Some of the most entire of the Urns are now in the possession of the Reverend Mr Thomson, minister of
the parish. This mount was in or very near to the Roman Station in the plain, at least two miles South from
the Scottish Camp at Re-dykes, and may have been about twenty or thirty feet in diameter. From the con-
tents also, it evidently points out its origin, as the place where the Romans had burnt the bodies of all who
had fallen in battle, or died while they occupied this Station. Here then at length has been found the only
particular wanting to determine the Site of this battle. For here every circumstance concurs in pointing out
this place as the real Scene of the conflict between Agricola and Galgacus, a combination no where else to
be found along the whole chain of the Grampian Mountains, at Ardoch, at Dealgin Ross, Strageth,
Battledykes, or any other fancied situation, and here, it is presumed, that this much disputed point
will be invariably fixed, and universally acknowledged to be so. Here the Roman fleet was seen riding
at anchor in the bay of Stonehaven, within less than a league of their Camp, where no enemy could inter-
upt their mutual intercourse. Here Galgacus could see the fleet equally well from the Hills above, and might justly
be made to exclaim, immenente nobis classe Romana, - and from this place Tacitus might properly
Say, upon Agricola's retreat Southward after the battle, - excercitum in fines Horestorum deducit.
Though the result of this engagement according to Tacitus, was highly favourable to the Romans, yet, as he acknow-
ledged the spirit and energy with which the Caledonians fought, the disproportion in the number of the killed
could Scarcely have been So considerable as he describes it, nor could the victory over our heroic ancestors
have proved so very easy and decisive, Seeing that he was instantly obliged to abandon his northern expe
dition, and march back to his old quarters at Ardoch. His fleet, indeed, are Said to have circumnavi-
gated the [continued on page 128] |

-navigated the whole coasts, probably as far as Orkney and Shetland, occasionally landing as before,
and pillaging the defenceless inhabitants, but never again at this time attempting any permanent Settle-
ment or conquest. - It is certain however that some time thereafter, it is not exactly known how
long, another Roman army led by Severus, Lollius Urbicus, or Some other General, penetrated much
farther into this part of Caledonia, at least as far as the Moray Frith, and that it was finally reduced
according to Richard of Cirencester, into a sort of Roman province under the name of Vespasiana,
and which he says continued attached to their empire for about Seventy years before the final
departure of that people. History informs us of several expeditions undertaken for this purpose by
the two Generals above mentioned, but scarcely any particulars are taken notice of unless one
by Dio Cassius, that does much honour to the bravery and perseverance of our ancestors, while it rather
throws discredit on the former easy victory said to have been obtained by Agricola, - and this is
that in one of these expeditions, the Emperor Severus sustained a loss of not less than 50,000 men.
Whatever may have been the case, and at whatever period this conquest may have been achieved we
have abundant proofs of its having happened, from the frequent remains of Roman Camps, and other
monuments of that people, which have been discovered over all this tract of country. -
The Roman General, whoever he was, that next engaged in this undertaking, appears to
have followed Agricola's line of march as far as Stonehaven, or the eastern extremity of
the Montes Grampii and to have then directed his route through the hills, the road along
the coast being more difficult or impracticable, Straight to the river Dee, from which he was dis-
tant only about twelve miles. In this line the level of the country is Somewhat lower being chiefly through [wet]
moors and morasses, in one of which last, about half way in this day's march, upon the property of Mr. Silver of
Netherley, in the year 1809 was found a very fine Roman Gladius, which is now to be Seen in the
Museum of the Marischal College Aberdeen. It is of the mixed brass, of which are formed almost all

"the Roman arms found in this Country. - The length of the Sword exclusive of the handle is about twenty
inches, much Swelled, and thick in the middle, which makes it very heavy when held in the hand, and
afterwards tapering to a Sharp point, So that it must have been a far more formidable weapon than
the long iron Swords of the Caledonians". - (Essays Chiefly on Scottish Antiquities by Professor
Stuart Marischal College Aberdeen P. [Page] 70 - 83.)
B. Render. Corpl R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers]
"The vestiges of an old Camp, (by some supposed to be Roman,) on a rising ground, called Re-dykes (Re - King),
have attracted much notice. It is still almost entire, and occupied a space of 71 acres. It was fortified with a wall and ditch.
At the distance of about three miles and close to Stonehaven, there were to be seen, Some years ago, remains of a camp, more
distinctly Roman.
The Romans, in their incursions to the north, Seem to have proceeded from the Tay along the great valley of Strathmore, which
runs parallel to the Grampian Mountains, from Perth to Stonehaven. In this direction, at about twelve miles distance
from each other, the Stations they occupied appear to have been Strageth, Grassywalls, Meigle, Battledykes, Keithock,
Fordoun, Stonehaven, Norman dykes, in the parish of Peterculter, a Station also Somewhere near to the burgh
of Inverury, and Glenmailen (Called also Re-dykes,) in the vicinity of the Source of the Ythan. By this course, it is
supposed that Agricola, having subdued the most Southern parts of Scotland, led an army of 26,000 men, during
the seventh campaign, through the country of the Horesti (Angus) towards the north and fought the great
battle, "ad "Montem Grampium" against the Caledonians who mustered 30,000, and were led by their Chief Galgacus.-
Various opinions have been entertained respecting the place where this great battle was fought. The late professor
Stuart of Marischal College, Aberdeen, (Transactions of the Society of the Antiquarians of Scotland, Vol. [Volume] 2. Part 2, P. [Page] 289,)
after adducing many circumstances in support of his opinion that the Scene of it was here, observes. "Here (Camp near
Stonehaven) [continued on page 130] |
|
| OS1/19/10/130 |
|
|
|
|

[Page] 130

[continued from page 129]
Stonehaven) the Roman fleet was seen riding at anchor in the bay of Stonehaven within less than a league
of their Camp, where no enemy could interrupt their mutual intercourse. Here Galgacus would see the fleet equally
well from the hills above, and might justly be made to exclaim 'imminente nobis classe Romana', and
from this place Tacitus might properly say, upon Agricola's retreat Southward, after the battle, 'Exercitum in fines
Horestorum deducit.' -
On this matter it has only to be remarked, that the entrenchment at Re-dykes is strongest towards the Sea, with
Several outworks on that side, an evidence that the enemy was expected from that quarter, that along the
adjoining hollow, towards the north-east, called Monbois (Celtic, the Moor of death), and on a lower hill
called 'Kempstone Hill' (Kemp, a fight) many Stones were Scattered, and Some of them large single ones
on end, that on Cantlayhills there is a large Cairn that was never examined, that varioius pieces of armour,
Chariot wheels, etc have been found in the vicinity, Some of which are now in the advocates' library Edinburgh,
Marischal College, Aberdeen, and Fetteresso Castle, and that, in the neighbourhood of the Camp at Stonehaven
many Sepulchral urns were not long ago discovered, and near the Cairn, in which they had been deposited,
a Stone pavement, on which from the remains of ashes, it would appear that bodies had been burnt. -
In the Second Volume of the Transactions of the Society of Antiquaries P. [Page] 462. Professor Stuart Communicates
the result of an examination of a Tumulus* opened near the Seat "of R. W. Duff Esqr in this Parish".
* See "Malcolm's Mount" Plan 12/3 and Extracts referring to this.
Query - Is it not more probable that this Tumulus contained the remains
of Aulus Atticus, the commander of a Cohort at the battle of
"ad Montem Grampium", and Stated by Tacitus to have been Slain
in that engagement? - See Roy Page 19.

William Cummings (Bogheadley) |
012.09 |
During the month of October 1863 while a laborer named James Smith was engaged in excavating a sand bank on the farm of Bogheadley he discovered a Stone Cist about three feet in length two in breadth and of proportionate depth.
The chamber contained a cinerary urn, very rudely manufactured, a small quantity of decayed bones, a jet necklace, consisting of about sixty large beads of an elongated shape, and nine ornamental pieces of the same material that had been used in the elaboration of the pattern. The longitudinal position of the grave is east and west, shewing the cist to belong to the Christian period. The presence of the necklace would seem to indicate that the grave had been that of a female and the osseous remains would shew that the body had not been subjected to the process of burning but had been deposited with limbs - a position in which skeletons in that class of tumuli are not unfrequently found. The Urn is of Clay sun-dried but from its moist and fragile condition it went to pieces on being handled, [continued on page 162] |

I have dug to the foundations of many of the small heaps but never found either bones or urns." - (See extracts "from R, Barclay Esqr of Urie to the Earl of Buchan".)
The Stones forming the Cairns above mentioned have been carted away to build fences &c, and I have not been able to meet with any person who could point out the sites of any large Cairns, except the one shewn on Trace 1 Plan 12/12 and the entire Cairn at Cantlayhills.

During the year 1844 when the persons named in margin were removing a tree they found under the roots a large Urn composed of burnt clay and containing a large quantity of Charred Bones and ashes. The Urn was devoid of ornament but well shaped, and measured about 15 Inches deep, 7 Inches in diameter across the mouth, and 12 Inches in diameter at the greatest bulge. The Urn was found on a rising ground at the west side of the Cowie Water about 1/4 of a mile West from Ury House and immediately north of the nursery. The late Captain Barclay ordered the Urn and its contents to be buried, but the exact place is not known. B. Render Corpl. R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers]. See Sketch. |

[continued from page 197] two Stone Cists, in each Cist there was a quantity of loose pebbles strewed over the bottom, and on these was placed an Urn containing a quantity of Charred bones and ashes. When opening the first found Cist the Urn was broken through the carelessness of the workmen, more care being observed when the other Cist was found, the Urn was taken out complete, and is now in possession of John Baird Esqr Ury House, it is a beautiful specimen of Roman Pottery composed of clay burnt to a reddish brown color, it is well shaped and finely ornamented, it is 5 1/4 inches in diameter at the mouth and 5 1/2 Inches deep. See Sketch. The position of the cists was East and West, and they were found about 30 inches below the general surface of the ground. B. Render Corpl. R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers] 13/5/64 |

A good spring well near Stonehaven on the west side of Cowie Water [opposite] the Glenury Distillery. The water is strongly impregnated with [Iron] and in 1860 a Subscription was raised and a small building or Fountain was erected at this place.

[Royal Engineers] will please to arrange this name.

During the process of Cultivation in the year 1852, there was found on the Hill of Megray a Small Urn containg upwards of 200 Silver Denari, all Roman. They consisted of Coins of the Caesars Claudius, Nero, Galba, Vespasian, Titus, Domitian, and the Emperors Nerva, Trajan, and Adrian. Some of the Coins are now in possession of Mr R, Brown of Megray and R, Duthie Stonehaven but most of the Coins were sent to the Queen's Remembrancer in Edinburgh. The summit of the above named hill can be seen from Raedykes, the Bay of Stonehaven, and from the site of the Camp near Fetteresso Manse, and is supposed to have been a Roman Out Post. |

A name given to a Stone standing in an arable field a little to the South of Pennywell on the Estate of Fetteresso. I have not seen any record of this stone in any of the Books on antiquities, nor can I meet with any person who knows its origin. The old men on the estate remember seeing it in the same position from their earliest recollection. It is evidently one of those objects known to antiquarians and classed by them as Monliths, or Standing Stones. This stone stands about 4 Feet above the surface of the ground, and measures at the ground 2 feet across its widest part, it is of an irregular shape, and gradually tapers to the top. There is no mark of chisel, or tool on the stone.

"The family of Marischal the history of which is well known, had their principal abode, for many generations at Fetteresso. To this place James II, repaired immediately after landing at Peterhead, in the year 1715. From that period may be dated the downfall of a race which had been conspicuous in the annals of the country, from the time of Malcolm II, who began his reign in 1104.
On the north bank of the Carron the late Mr Duff, partly rebuilt, and greatly extended the ancient abode of the family of Marischal, and Fetteresso Castle is now one of the most extensive and commodious in the north of Scotland. Adjoining it is a large park, in which are many trees of great size, and much thriving young wood, all enclosed and kept in the best order". (New Stat. Act [Statistical Account] Page 251-2)
"In 1363 William Fedderesse of that Ilk, gave to William Cumming and Helen Fedderesse, a charter of the lands of Fedresse." (Robertsons Index Page 46)
"On the 21st March 1645 Fetteresso House was partially burnt by the Marquis of Montrose". (Spaldings Troubles of Scotland Vol [Volume] 2 Page 460)
"For a period of 25 years Fetteresso remained in the same dilapidated condition in which it was left by Montrose, when William, the ninth Earl commenced the erection of the present Mansion, but having died at Inverugie, Shortly before its completion, it was finished by his brother George who succeeded him. It originally consisted of two large buildings forming the two Sides of a quadrangle

quadrangle, and was adorned by eight slender towers, one of which only now remains. The principal entrance was at what is now the back of the edifice, where, at a subsequent period a lobby and Staircase were added, by which the doors, which still exist were excluded from exterior view. On the lintel of one of these are the arms of the Earl Marischal with the date 1671, and over a second door on a similar stone, are the initials of the Earl and his second wife the Countess Anne, thus EWM / CAM. It was at the former of these doors that the Chevalier de St George was proclaimed King of Great Britain as James VIII on his arrival from France in 1715."

"In the beginning of January 1822, while some labourers were digging gravel for the high roads in a small tumulus or hillock near Fetteresso, the Seat of R.W. Duff Esqr, they found a Stone Coffin or Kistvaen about Six feet below the surface, in which were the remains of a human body. The length of the grave was about four feet, the breadth somewhat more than two, the depth twenty inches. The sides and ends consisted of single stones set on edge, and had no appearance of being hewn or dressed, the top or cover was also of one stone (Whin) of about seven feet long, four broad and six inches in thickness. The bottom of the grave was plentifully strewed with round sea pebbles, from the neighbouring beach. Above this appeared some vegetable substance, in which the body had been imbedded, and over that, covering the whole, a most singular sort of net work, beautifully executed, but which, along with all the other contents, fell into dust soon after being exposed to the air. The bones seemed tolerably entire, but, from the shortness of the grave the legs were bent back, so that the knees almost touched the foot of the coffin. The body appeared that of a man, rather below than above the ordinary stature, the flesh of the abdomen and other parts seemed converted into that fattish substance often seen in old cemetries. A great number of small black balls, was also found surrounding the body, which were plainly vegetable, and had much the appearance of acorns. At the top of the

coffin there seemed to have been placed a fresh sod or turf, on which the head was supposed to have rested, and still retained such an impression, though no part of the skull, nor even any of the teeth, were to be found. A considerable quantity of hair, was scattered among the other substances, at least in part human, and four or five inches long, of an auburn colour, so that the whole looked and felt very much like a bird's nest. Over the breast, were also seen the remains of a small box, of an oval shape, about four or five inches long, apparently of wood elegantly carved, which may be supposed to have contained the heart or other viscera. - Soon after the discovery, Mr Duff, proprietor of the grounds, sent me an account of it, along with specimens of the different substances found in the grave, but they were all so much broken, and reduced to powder, that scarcely any of them could be distinguished from another, excepting the hair, and what appeared to be acorns. From the account that I received and the place where the grave was found, I immediately remembered a conversation I had held several years before with Mr Pinkerton, the well known author, about the death of Malcolm the first, King of Scotland, as given by Thomas Innes in his Critical Essay on the ancient inhabitants of this country, and in which I with some difficulty, convinced him, by the inspection of Old Maps and otherwise, that the name Fodresach, mentioned by Innes was certainly Fetteresso, although this place be not noticed as the scene of Malcolm's death by any of our other historians. Father Innes' authority, however, appears very unexceptionable, especially when we consider the absurdities and contradictions into which almost all our writers have been betrayed concerning the early periods of our history. The authority refferred to by Mr Innes is one of five or six old Pictish chronicles discovered by him among the Colbertine Manuscripts in the French King's library and published as an Appendix to his Critical Essay, London, 1727 2d. Vol [Second Volume] Page 787. The words are these, "Et occiderunt viri na Moerne Malcolaim in Fodresach I. in Claideom (Sic.)" No place has yet been discovered

"answering to the latter word. - Other writers tell us that Malcolm was killed in Moray, and they all agree that his body was carried to Iona for interment, which is said to have been the common burying place of our Kings until the reign of Malcolm the Third. I acknowledge however, that I have always entertained some doubts on this subject, not thinking it at all probable that after the extension of the Scottish Dalriad kingdom over the possessions of the Picts, it would have been very convenient to remove the bodies of all our Kings, during so long a period to a very remote island, with which the Scots could then have little intercourse, - especially as many of their Kings were called usurpers, and had been cut off by violent death in these northern parts. Or, may it not be supposed, that, on some occasions, instead of carrying the bodies to such a distance, they may have been satisfied with depositing the head or heart of the deceased king in that consecrated spot, as Robert Bruce ordered his heart to be carried to the Holy Land? If this can be imagined in the present case it will very well account for neither the skull nor any of the teeth being discovered in this grave, though these parts are by far the most indestructible parts of the whole human body. Whatever may have been the case, there is at least a great degree of probability from the situation and name of the place, and the variety of Splendid Ornaments surrounding the body, which really appeared wonderful for that early age, that this was indeed the place of interment of King Malcolm I. There have, indeed, formerly been found several ancient graves in this vicinity, some of them containing urns, though none of them in any respect resembling the one now described, this is not at all to be wondered at, as the great Grampian Battle with the Romans is supposed to have been fought hard by, and another with the Danes said to have happened near the same place." --

"It is related by old writers that Malcolm I. fell at Fetteresso, in the Mearns, in the year 953, in a contest with a band of Morayshire men whom he met on their way South to revenge the death of their Maormor, or chief whom King Malcolm is said to have killed. (Caledonia Vol. [Volume] 1. Page 390) Traces of ancient burial are also common in the district of Fetteresso." -- (Memorials of Angus & Mearns Page 23) |

"In November 1837 there were discovered about an hundred yards to the Southward of the tomb last mentioned, (See Malcolm's Mount.) another ancient burial place, measuring 3 feet in length, 2 in breadth, and 20 inches in depth. It contained the remains of a human body, which had been laid on its right side with the face towards the south. The limbs had been bent upwards, and it appeared that one of the leg bones had been broken near the middle. An urn about six inches in depth and 28 in circumference, was found lying in the tomb, as if it had been folded in the arms of the corpse. Upwards of a hundred jet beads were discovered over the breast of the corpse, perhaps having formed ornaments on the edge of the Urn." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] Page 250-1) |

Cultivation has has at various times found on the South Side of Camp Hill a great number of dried clay Urns containing portions of charred human bones and ashes. These Urns were all of the same pattern, were not marked by the action of fire, but had apparently been moulded and dried, each urn being marked by a small band of ornamental work near the top thus [sketch inserted]. The Urns were not enclosed in Cists but found Scattered about in all directions and what is most remarkable they were all found on the "Sunny" or South side of the hill. Near to the place where the Cist (hereafter referred to) was found, Mr Stratton states that he discovered a pit, or hollow, several feet in diameter and about three feet in depth, it contained a large quantity of vegetable charcoal, and portions of half burnt human bones. It is very probable that this place was used for burning the bodies of those persons whose remains were found in the Urns referred to. None of the Urns are preserved as they fell to pieces on being exposed to the air. -- [signed] B. Render Corpl. R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers] 19/3/64 |

On the 18th February 1864 there was found at the place marked a Stone Cist composed of Six freestone Slabs, and measuring 18 inches in length by 15 inches in breadth, at the bottom of the cist resting on a flat stone were found several portions of charred human bones and ashes, but no Urn. The longitudinal position of the Cist was East and West. I saw several pieces of the bones they averaged from one to 3 inches in length and appeared to have been calcined to that extent, they they were easily reduced to powder. -- [signed] B. Render Corpl.

A name given to a circular hillock on the farm, and a little to the South of Farrochie farm steading. This name originated after the finding of the Cist, which proffessor Stuart considered to contain the remains of King Malcolm I. The hillock is now enclosed and planted and the name popularly known.
Mr Stratton the present tenant of the farm of Farrochie states that he has been informed that about seventy years ago the place now known as "Malcolm's Mount" was covered with a very large Cairn of Stones, built up round the base about two feet high, and heaped to the top with loose stones thus [sketch inserted]. About that time these stones were removed for building purposes, and at the base of this Cairn or Tumulus there were found a large number of dried clay Urns. The person who found the Urns was named David Campbell. The above information was communicated to Mr David Stratton by the late Mrs Carnegie who resided as servant on the Farm of Farrochie when the Urns were found. -- [signed] B. Render Corpl. R.E.

"At the distance of about three miles, (from Re-dykes), and close to Stonehaven, there were to be seen, some years ago, remains of a camp more distinctly Roman." (New Stat. Act. [Statistical Account] Page 249)
"On the other hand in order to identify the situation of the Roman Camp in the plain below, among other relics of antiquity, a pretty large Tumulus or Barrow was openened in 1812, by the workmen employed in building the new church and Minister's house of Fetteresso, hard by, with a view of finding Stones useful for the work, when it was discovered to be entirely composed of a vast quantity of Urns and pottery of all sorts, ashes, earth, half burnt bones, and charcoal. Some of the most entire of the urns are now in possession of the Revd [Reverend] Mr Thomson Minister of the parish. * This mount was in or very near to the Roman Station in the plain, at least two miles South from the Scottish Camp at Re-dykes, and may have been about twenty or thirty feet in diameter. From the contents also, it evidently points out its origin as the place where the Romans had burnt the bodies of all who had fallen in battle, or died while they occupied this station. Here then at length has been found the only particular wanting to determine the site of this battle." (Antiquarian Essays by Professor Stuart. Page 81.) |

"This Church was dedicated to St Caran, bishop, whose feast day is variously stated as the 21st. December, and the 10th. of the Kalends of January. Collect. [Collections] on Aberd. [Aberdeen] and Banff, 550, Reg. Ep. Aberd. [Registrum Episcopatus Aberdonensis] 1. pref. [preface] 86, Proceed. of So. of Antiq of Scot. [Proceedings of Society of Antiquaries of Scotland], II, 272." (Memorials of Angus and Mearns.)
"The church of 'Fethiressach' and chapel or the Kirk of Cowie, were in the diocese of St Andrews, and rated at twenty marks in the ancient Taxatio. The Kirk was inscribed to St. Caran, and the chapel to the Virgin Mary. The latter was given to Marischal College, Aberdeen, by Earl George the founder of that university, and the ruins which stand on a cliff by the sea side, are exceedingly picturesque. The old kirk of Fetteresso is also a ruin." (Land of the Lindsays. Page 318)
"The former parish church was situated close on the Southern boundary, rather more than a mile from Stonehaven. It must have been very ancient, but without any claim to architectural importance. Its walls still remain, having been purchased by Mr Duff of Fetteresso, and it is not likely that they will be demolished but by the hand of time. Although its length was curtailed in 1720, when a small aisle was built opposite the pulpit, it still was in length 94 feet, while its width was only 19. In 1813, an excellent new church, fitted to accommodate 1400 sitters, was erected, near Stonehaven, and, at the same time, a corresponding manse. There is attached to the former church an extensive burial ground, in which, on an average of Seventeen years past, Seventy-Six corpses have been annually laid. (New. Stat Act.

About the year 1850 there was found on the west side of the road near Elf Hillock, an Urn containing a quantity of ashes and half burnt bones. The Urn was formed of clay, which had apparently been Sun dried, as it mouldered to pieces as soon as it was exposed to the air. The dimensions of the Urn were about 22 Inches deep and 10 inches diameter at the mouth, it was in an upright position when found, which was during the operation of widening and repairing the road.
The Urn was ornamented by cross lines, and similar in shape to the Sketch on margin.
