002.04 | A high green knowe, on the coast bounded by steep rocky cliffs: It is traditionally recorded, that a vitrified fort existed on it at one time, but there is no trace of it now remaining. The New Statistical Account speaks of the ruins "of some buildings on the tops of two hills, on the east and west side of the harbour of Portknockie, the former called the Green Castle, and the latter Fronach Castle, are still to be seen; by whom they were built is unknown". The Examiner states that there is a mention of these two heights having been crowned by Forts or Castles, but there is no one now alive who has ever seen the slightest traces of the existance of such objects. |
