"A gulf in the extreme north-
east of Scotland; a sea rather than
a bay or an estuary; the
largest projection, and at
the same time one of the most
regular which the ocean makes
into the Scottish coasts. Its
limits as assigned by the
modern hydrography of the
country are somewhat various,
and not very distinctly understood;
but in the whole, they distribute
into five easily ascertained parts,
an exterior and an interior.
The exterior frith comprehends
all the open sea south west
of a line between Duncansby-
head in Caithness-shire and
Kinaird's-head in Aberdeenshire,
onward to the entrance of the
inner frith between Tarbetness
in Ross-shire and Burgh-head
in Morayshire"

It was opened and explored by Mr Robertson Baads of Cullen, and found to contain four upright-stones (unhewn) which is evidently a Cistvaen or Stone-Coffin.

[Battle of the Bauds Continued] country. Although their incursions
and depredations are involved in
much obscurity yet the scattered
notices and traditionary accounts handed down to the
present time, leave no doubt of their predatory inroads
along the shores of the Moray Firth. In Buchanan's History of Scotland it is recorded, that the Danes,
after having made an unsuccessful attempt to land on the coast of Buchan, proceeded further westward,
and put ashore at the mouth of the burn or water of Cullen. Thither Indulfus who then held the sceptre of
Scotland, marched at the head of his army to oppose their progress, and a bloody battle ensued between the Scotch and their Danish
invaders. The scene of the conflict is denominated by the above historian "a woody valley", and many tumuli have been dug
up throughout this locality, where now are situated the splendid mansion of the noble family of Seafield, and the beautiful grounds
surrounding it. The most deadly arena of the conflict, however, appears to have been a spot a little further west, on the moor
of Bannachie, or Baads of Cullen; and the action which took place here, is known and currently spoken of as "the Battle of
the Baads". The place is thickly studded with tumuli in every direction, and these in being opened are always found to contain
decayed bones, fragments of arms, etc."
NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF CULLEN PARISH
"There is. however, some dispute regarding the precise period when this event took place. Abercrombie
says it was in 961; Buchanan in 967. We agree with Abercrombie, as Indulfus reigned from 952 to 961 and was succeeded
by Duff, who fell by a conspiracy of his subjects in 965. The above event was distinguished by the name of the Battle of the
Bauds, at that time an extensive moor, now the property of Lord Seafield.
NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF RATHVEN Ph. [PARISH]
The best authorities consider 960 to be the year in which this battle was fought. |

The remains of this building which are still standing in the Old grave yard consist of a portion of an Aisle roofed in and used as the burial place of the original proprietors of the estate of Rannes viz. the Hays of Rannes, it is doubted whether the aisle now standing belonged to the original building. It is supposed rather to have been a part of that which was added to the old building when it was repaired & fitted up for a protestant place of worship, there is no doubt, however that the Aisle occupies the site of the original St. Peter's. |

This name is applied to a mound of stones and earth Traditionally said to be a Druidical Cairn it has been partly opened for Antiquarian research but nothing has been found in it. Tor is a Gaelic word said to signify a mound or cairn. Sliasg is also a Gaelic word said to signify the hip-bone or crest of a hill it is sometimes used for side, and is pronounced in English Sleisk in this instance it would apply to the mound on the crest of the hill it is often called Tarriesleisk but this is a corruption of Tor Sliasg. The same authorities agree to both modes of spelling. |
