MONK'S HILLOCK | Monk's Hillock Monk's Hillock Monk's Hillock |
Revd. [Reverend] John Keith Keith Hall Mr David Brown Teacher Keith Hall |
055 | A small portion of very slightly elevated ground situated on the road side about midway between the Manse and Hillhead. Originally it presented more the appearance of a Knoll, when the ground around it was rough and uncultivated, but since the cultivation of the adjacent land and the filling in of a marsh which lay on its south side it has been all but levelled. It has been much longer cultivated than any of the surrounding country. A small chapel stood on its summit, in which it is said the Pope's Legate slept for a night on his way to Harlaw, previous to the battle which bears that name. This is said to be the origin of the name. |

055 | Nothing is known respecting this chapel; very few people in the district are aware that such ever existed. According to a Statistical Account of Keith Hall written about 1780 the Pope's Legate slept here one night when on his way to Harlaw to attempt to reconcile the Contending parties. |
