002 | "Leaving Fraserburgh by the Back Street, and proceeding by the Banff turnpike for nearly half a mile, we turn off to the old Banff road, near Broadsea, in order to reach the coast line, where in a field on the farm of Chapel Hill, and close by the beach, there formerly stood a religious house. About thirty years ago the tenant, in digging out the foundation, found human bones. This sacriligious invasion of consecrated ground, and disturbance of the dead, is a new feature in the Scottish character, of which we have but little reason to pique ourselves. " Rev. [Reverend] John B. Pratts, Buchan Page 181 |
