| JENKINS' HOLE | Jenkins' Hole Jenkins' Hole Jenkins' Hole |
Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Davidson Inverury Dr [Doctor] Leslie Inverury Mr. John Annand Inverury |
054 | A deep pool in the River Ury in which, in ancient times, culprits considered to be deserving of death, were drowned. The exact position of the veritable "Hole" is doubtful, but all who know that such a place existed agree in placing it about the position marked on the plan. The following extract taken from the manuscript records of the town in possession of the Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Davidson proves the existence and antiquity of the name. "Alexander Fergus alias Walace, in Inverury attached be ye Shreff of theft putt to ane assyss was convickt be ye assisse & drowned in Urie in ye pott callit Jinkin Holl till he was deid. Buriet in ye kirkeyard of Inverury 4 August1629 ." It is supposed that the name is derived from a man of the name of Jenkins having been drowned in this place. |
