Logan, Corsbie. | 026.04 | On the South side of the farm of Corsbie, near to the parish boundary, are the remains of a square fortalice standing on the summit of a small artificial looking mound, in the centre of the valley, & sheltered by a few Ash trees. It is supposed to have been erected, about the middle of the 14th Century, and appears to have been 3 storeys high & judging from the appearance of the ground, had other buildings attached. Only two sides of it now remains, the wall being 4. feet thick & about 30 feet in height. No traditions concerning it can be learnt, but it is now the property of the Marquis of Tweeddale. |
