065 | "About a mile above the bridge, on the south side, and half a mile from the river, is a round deep hollow, in the middle of an arable field, called "The Lady's Jointure". It seems that, long ago, a lady of Dyce had teased her lord for a certain portion of the estate to be set apart as her jointure. He took her to the bottom of this hollow, and told her she should have for her jointure as far as she could see of the estate; and that, certainly, was not a great deal" Donside Guide Book This remarkable hollow in the centre of a hill is a good arable piece of ground. It is surrounded by rough moorland, and not arable ground as stated above, and was at one time enclosed by a dyke which is now much defaced. The origin of the name as given above is quite current in the neighbourhood. Property of J. G. C. Skene Esqr. |
