"Urie' Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland, p. [page] 367. It is of an irregular form measuring about 3½ miles at the South and tapering to about half of a mile in width at the north. There is a small village of its own name, situated nearly in the centre of the parish, containing the parish church & school, also a post office and one or two small merchants' shops. The arable soil in general is fertile; but the general surface of the parish is irregular and hilly. On the farms of New Craig and Loanhead there still exist the remains of two Druidical places of worship a number of the stones are still standing and are very conspicuous. Near to the Druids Temple at Loanhead, a number of Urns of various shapes and sizes was found, as also a Brass dirk and Stone Cist. There is a Sculptured standing stone lying in Mounie Castle, and was removed there in 1866 for safety. The remains of a Camp are still visible near to the "King's Ford," and said to have been occupied by King Robert Bruce. It is situated about 2 miles north of Daviot Village. "On the lands of Mounie and on the highest ground in the parish, the remains of two Druidical temples are still observable".
