At some remote period, a great portion of this District, Seems evidently to have been the site of a large lake or chain of lakes (two of which still subsist) fed by several rivulets, which now wend their way sluggishly through it, occasionally inundating the lower grounds to some extent, when swollen by much rain, or by the sudden dissolution of the snow, which falls abundantly on the surrounding hills during the Winter. Since this vanished lake burst the barrier which confined it on the south, several tumuli or mounds have been formed in different places of its site, by the drifting of the finer particles of sand which covered its bottom, while the flat ground around them consists generally of coarser gravelly deposits interspersed with patches of peat bog. The parish of Logie was annexed to Coldstone in 1618. When a separate Parish, it appears to have been generally called Logie-Mar, to distinguish it from the other parishes into which the word Log, enters as a Compound, such as Logie Buchan, Logie Pert. The etymology of Coldstone (formerly written, and still pronounced, Colstane by the inhabitants of the district) cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. [continued on page 4] |
