Tarland Mr. Robert Wilson Mr. Alexander Wright New Stat [Statistical] Account. Old Stat [Statistical] Account. 082 The site of what was once a large Feudal Fortress and the seat of the "Durwards", once a great family in Cromar; not the slightest vestige of it now remains, and its date of erection is lost, but the Durward family first became important in Malcolm the 3rds reign, 1057. Fullartons Gazetteer notices that several old Scottish Silver Coins have been found here, but where found cannot be pointed out. Upon a rocky eminence in the vicinity of the church may still be seen the remains of the Castle of Coull. It appears to have been a fortification of considerable extent and great strength, of square form, with large hexagonal towers at its angles. The fosse may still be distinctly seen. It was the seat of the Durwards, - a family once in great influence in this district. It is a common saying still, that the church bell of Coull rings of its own accord when a Durward dies.

OS1/1/16/55 [Page] 55 Parish of Coull Examiners Remarks Extracts from New Stat [Statistical] Account, page 957 The parish of Coull is bounded on the south by the parish of Aboyne; on the west, by Coldstone; on the north, by Tarland and Cushnie;and on the east, by Leochel and Lumphanan. A mountain range, where summits are named Hill of Gellan, [appears as Craig Dhu] Mortlich, Leadhlich, and the Hill of Corse, forms, in a [all shewn] great measure, a natural boundary between Coull and the parishes of Aboyne and Lumphanan. The oak appears to have once flourished here, a specimen of enormous size having been recently dug up on the farm of Wester Coull, and [appears] two large beams of oak, rudely joined together by blocks of wood, were lately found in a piece of mossy ground near the Manse. The landowners are, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir John Forbes, Bart. [Baronet] and the Marquis of Huntly. Mr Farquharson of Finzean also [in Birse Ph [Parish]] possesses some land in the parish, and pays Stipend, but has no valuation. Antiquities. One of those circles of stones standing upright, so common in Britain, and called Druidical circles, may be [shown] seen on a small hill called Tom-na-hivrigh (In the Account of Tarland called Tomnaverie) or the Hill of Worship, or Justice. [Tomnaverie correct] About the centre of the lands of Corse, and on the farm of Newton [Shewn see 71/7 Newton of Corse, there existed, at a very remote period, a chapel, called Turry Chapel (in the description of Leochel Cushnie called Torry [Shewn see 71/7 Torry Chapel] Chapel.) The traces of it are still visible as the proprietor has [relates to Kirk [ not John] enclosed and planted the spot. [There is no trace now] The Castle or Fortalice of Corse was erected in 1581 by William [Shown see 71/71] Forbes, father of Bishop Patrick Forbes of Corse. The walls of the castle still remain but in a ruinous condition. Upon a rocky eminence in the vicinity of the church may still be seen the remains or rubbish of the Castle of Coull. It appears to have been a fortification [shewn] of considerable extent and great strength, of square form, with large hexagonal towers at its angles. The fosse may still be distinctly seen.
