098 | "A little on (westward) from the Bridge of Invercauld you come to a most uncommonly large stone lying on the right-hand or north side of the road. This is called Erskine's Stane or the Muckle Stane o' the Clunie; and must on all hands be allowed to be, for size, a most extraordinary large Stone. This stone was formerly one of the march-stones between the lands of Erskine of Clunie and Farquharson of Invercauld". New Deeside Guide Enquiry was made with regard to the above extract and it was found that the stone is never called by either of the above names. |
| CHARTERS CHEST | Charter's Chest Charter's Chest Charter's Chest |
Mr. Morgan, Inverey Mr. Morgan, Castleton of Braemar Mr. McIntosh. |
098 | The Deeside Guide, in giving a description of the rocks on Craig Cluny, goes on to say - "A more noble rock than this is nowhere to be seen. It is sometimes called the Charter's Chest, because there the Laird of Clunie, in times of danger and tribulation, used to hide his charter chest" The rock referred to in the above extract is never "called the Charter Chest". The Charter Chest is a particular spot in the rocks on which a house was erected at one time for the purpose of securing the charters. The foundation of the house is still to be seen. |
