"The most ancient name of this parish is said to have been Glenduisk, signifying the "Glen of the Blackwater." A battle was fought between Meckan, son of Magnus, King of Norway and the Albuns or Gails, where it is said the Norwegians were slaughtered on each side of a river called Ruail, which runs through the middle of the glen; and their bodies being thrown into the river, gave the colour of blood to it. Hence the parish got the name of Glenderwell, & the river the name Ruail, which signifies the "Glen of Red Blood." Though the epithet red is unnecessary to be added to blood, yet it is very often done in Gaelic. After the introduction of Christianity into the country, the place of worship was consecrated to St. Modan, and called Cella Modani, or Kilmodan. The Parish [continued on page 2] |

This spot is well known as being the site of Carn Mor; an extensive cairn said to have been erected by the Norwegians, after a battle fought on the spot. About 12 years ago, Mr Gordon of Auchinelia who then farmed the ground on which it stood, caused the cairn to be removed, & while removing it the workmen discovered 5 stone Coffins, four of them containing urns filled with ashes, & the fifth containing human bones. Tradition asserts this to be the site of battle fought between the Norwegians & the Gaels. The battle is said to have been drawn, & the Cairns Carn Mor & Carn Beag said to have been erected on the spot by the Norwegians. The Norwegians were shortly after, defeated at the battle fought at Cruadail. One of the lids of the Stone Coffins is [continued on page 8] |
