Wherever arable fields intervene the track is totally obliterated and whether it ever has been a Roman Road is conjectural, though it does run northward in direction of the site of the Roman Post. An old inhabiant of Pitcaple, from boyhood a servant to the previous proprietors of the castle, was known to have stated that the northern portion of the two branches of road shown on the plan was a portion of the Roman Road. Nothing more can be gleaned respecting it.

The farm to which this remark was applied has ever since been called England, and is still known by this name. On the occasion of the Royal Visit, a ball took place here, and the party danced under the Thorn tree which still stands on the lawn, and which is said to be one of the largest Thorn trees in Great Britain" Extract from Statistical Account of Aberdeenshire , Page 564.

It is supposed about six feet below the surface of the ground. Upon it there are several curious hieroglyphical figures cut. The occassion of its erection is unknown: but there is a tradition that there existed a fewd betwixt the Laird of Balquhain, and the neighbouring proprietor of Harthill, which was carried to such a hight that they had no intercourse with each other. Notwithstanding of this it is reported that the daughter of the former and the son of the latter became attached to each* over

Upon an appointed day, the young people set off together when their flight being immediately communicated to the Laird of Balquhain, he pursued them, a rencontre took place in which the young lady was unfortunately killed. Afterwards this stone was erected to her memory, and from hence called the Maiden Stone. It might also have had some connection with the Maiden Causeway on the hill of Benochie." (Statistical Account. Another tradition, equally absurd is connected with a Maiden, who on her bridal day and engaged in baking bread, was inveigled into a wager with a stranger, that she would bake a firlot of meal before he would make a road from the bottom to the top of Ben-a-chie, or if she failed, she would become his own. Ere her last bannock was ready, the road was made: on seeing which she fled to the wood of Pittodrie, pursued by the stranger, who was the Devil. He was in the act of reiping her when she was turned into the Maiden Stone, and the part of it which has been broken out of one of the sides, disappeared in the grasp of the Demon.- The word "Maiden" frequently occurs in the Topography of Scotland, and it's etymology has been discussed in the Name Book of "Oyne" Parish, quod vide. - This stone is a hard granite but of a coarse grain, and the figures through exposure, are in some parts very indistinct. The 3 animals above the Centaur at the top can only be seen in a particular light. A trench was lately made round the stone, but no Sepulchural remains were found, and it was subsequently discovered that the Stone had probably been removed a few paces westward from its first site, when the adjoining road was made. This Stone was then found as has been found in the case of many other similar pillars, to extend only a few feet into the soil, and that it was not placed in a base of stone.

OS1/1/13/61 ST MARY'S CHAPEL (Remains of) St Mary's Chapel (Remains of) St Mary's Chapel (Remains of) Mr George Selbie, Teacher Doneon Tourist Revd. [Reverend] Mr Sprott 045 The remains of an ancient Chapel situated in the graveyard near the parish church of Chapel of Garioch. The following is its history given by Mr Selbie, teacher. "A residence of the Leslies of Balquhain was at Tullos about two miles south from where the parish church now stands. A member of the family died suddenly without the last offices of a priest. The survivors then built and dedicated to the Virgin Mary the Chapel called it St Mary's, to which every morning at 8 o'clock, summer and winter, they repaired and offered up prayers for the soul of the departed. By and bye it became to be called the Chapel of the Garioch and was used as a regular and public place of worship, though at first it was built for the purpose of special intercession for the soul of one individual. Then when the site of the parish church was removed from Old Logie, it became, about the beginning of the 17th Century, the parish church and the parish was then called "the Chapel of Garioch," and no longer "Logie Durno." The site of it is in the churchyard, a little to the south of the present church." I conjecture the chapel originates in pictish times. JMD

It is not a home Sixty of Seventy Years since it was inhabited. By the County people it is called Tullos Castle, but its claims to being called a Castle are very poor were it not for the fact that a stone bearing the date of 1651 was taken from it one would be lead to beleive that it was quite modern, and only unroofed to give the material for some other building, Its square windows, and broad chimneys, show that if it was a castle, it was ill fitted for defensive purposes.
