065 | A low - lying hill extending across about half of the south of the parish, comprising the "Hill of Marcus" and forming also part of the parish of Newhills. It is chiefly covered with wood. The name is said to be derived from the circumstance of an incident in the life of the roving James V, in passing over this hill, in the garb of a beggar, tired and weary. The old road from Aberdeen, by which he is said to have passed is still in existence as a Cart - track through the wood. It is sometimes written "Tyrebagger" and is generally pronounced that way, but this seems to be a provincialism as the people spell it beggar, when asked, and the above tradition is universally known in the locality. Property of Sir William Forbes Bart. [Baronet], Sir Alexander Bannerman Bart. [Baronet] and William Henderson Esq. |
