A seat of the Duke of Hamilton, situated on the North side of Brodick Bay. The greater part of the building is of modern erection, but a portion of the old building (shewn distinctively on trace) still remains at the Eastern end; a part of the old building is unroofed, but the ground floor still remains, and the walls rise a considerable height above it. The embrasures being still entire. The South West division of the old castle is a tower of considerable height having very thick walls. Steep slopes fall from the South and West, which formerly formed the North and east embankments of the moat, but so many modern alterations having been made no portion of the moat itself is now traceable. Brodick Castle retains much of its ancient feudal appearance, the high and thick wall enclosing the court behind still remains, and the broad and deep moat, which at one time protected it on South & West sides can easily be traced along the whole line of its compass" New Statistical Account Written 1807 Revised 1840.

The third was absent in pursuit of his dog who decamped with his dinner, and fortunately escaped the destruction through the sagacity of his dog. The tradition is generally known and believed in the district. |

It appears to be surrounded at one period with a dike of earth but that has entirely disappeared, and is now level with the surrounding parts. It is in the form of an irregular oval. It probably was a large sheep Ree, or shelter. |

"Tubha" - To Thatch - Thatch
Cnocan-a-tubha - A noun beginning with - T - is never apirated in any case.
There is a difference among lexicographers about the mode of spelling of this word. I hold that Tubha is a noun and need not then form the present participle. Tubhadh

The exact spot where the original church stood is not remembered at the present day but most probably in the centre of the burying ground where the saint is believed to be buried. The present church was built in 1805. And is but occasionally used for Divine service, and is used as a chapel of ease to the Parish Church of Kilmory.

Dun Fiann or Fingal's fort rises abruptly, in some places nearly perpendicular from the Clauchlands shore. Traces of old walls, the remains of a fortification are seen round the summit but nothing whatever is Known of its history by way of tradition amongst the people.
" Dunfiunn or Fingal's Fort, situated on a round eminence of considerable elevation, near the point of Clachlands. Headrick conjectures that this was one of those vitrified forts so common in the North Highlands. No traces of vitrification now appear. The site of the wall by which it was surrounded can still be traced." New Stat [Statistical] Account.
" Two miles further east, near the top of the great hill Dunfuin on the brow is a great stratum of most singular stone, of a dull black-green cast, smooth glossy surface, chattery in its composition, semitransparent, in small pieces, & of a most vitreous appearance: It sometimes breaks into forms rather singular, & like those of that species called Iceland Crystal; but cannot be reduced to that class, as it strikes fire with steel & refuses to foment with acids. Some pieces, more mature, break like glass; of which it seems an imperfect species, less pure than the Iceland agate, and like that to have been the effect of a volcano" Pennant's Tour of 1772. |

253.03 |
The Doon fortress is situate on the farm of Drimadown. Dark Columnar cliffs resting on a base of red sandstone rise precipitously from the sea to the height of nearly 300 feet form its Western boundary. From the northern terminus of the cliff, the ruins of a huge wall eight to ten feet thick surrounds the broad flat summit of the hill, towards the land and joins the extremity of the cliff on the south enclosing an area of several acres. Large ledges of rock are strewn about within the interior, and a large standing stone having the appearance of being Monumental. "Martin" relates that the Drumidoon was used as a Girth or Sanctuary and whatever number of men or cattle could get within it were secured from the assaults of enemies - the place being privileged by universal consent.
" Descend through a narrow cleft of a rock to a part of the western shore called Druim-an-dùin or the ridge of the fort, from a round tower that stands above" Pennant's Tour p 206.
At Drumidoon on a promontory presenting to the sea a face of porphyritic basalt 80 or 100 ft high, which rests on a base of sandstone, making the whole height above 300 ft above the sea, are the remains of a rude fort of old held as a sanctuary & now consisting of a mass of stones surrounded by a wall of loose stones. It is described by Pennant as a round tower" Origines Parochiales |

Several thousand cart loads of stones were removed from this cairn for the building of the houses in the neighbourhood, when large numbers of stone coffins filled with human bones placed irregularly over the surface soil, but not a vestige of stone or metallic implement could be found. It was considered one of the largest Cairns in scotland but of which scarcely a stone now remains. It was of a circular conoid formation measuring 200 feet across. It is called by the natives Cairn Ban a Feorline to distinguish it from others of the same name. The extent of the Cairn was pointed out to me by Ebenezer Bannatyne who principally removed it.
" The largest Cairn in Scotland is said to be that at Blackwater Foot. It is now much diminished in size, owing to the great quantity of stones that have been carried away from it for dikes, drains, houses etc. but when entire, it was said to measure across upwards of 200 feet" New Stat [Statistical] Account.
" See at Feorline another stupendous Cairn, 114 ft [feet] over & of a vast height: & from two of the opposite sides are two vast ridges; the whole formed of rounded stones or pebbles, brought from the shores. These immense accumulations of stones are the sepulchral protections of the heroes among the ancient natives of our islands: the stone chest,the repository of the Urns and ashes, are lodged in the earth beneath; sometimes one, sometimes more, are found thus deposited: and I have one instance of as many as 17 of these Stone Chests being discovered under the same Cairn" Pennant's Tour of 1772 |

A steep bank at the confluence of two streams on the farm of Corriecravie and believed by the people of the neighbourhood to be a tumulus, but it appears to be a natural bank. McArthur, in his antiquities, describes an "Imperfect Cairn, within three concentric circles", at this place. The oldest inhabitants of Corriecravie never heard of such, but they invariably point to Stron a Liath, as a burying place, though it does not seem to have the slightest appearance to such. There are three graves in Corriecravie not mentioned by the Antiquarian, but they could not have any connection with "three concentric circles". |

This is a natural hillock rendered by artificial means into a regular fort. It is very steep on the north, South and west sides, the only entrance appears to be on the east, where the trace of a wall is visible to protect it in that quarter, The base of a rude wall between ten and twelve feet thick occupy the greater portion of the top surface rendering it quite complete as a fortification. It is said this wall was at one period roofed, but that appears problematical. It has all the characteristicks of the Irish Raths, or forts, which are generally ascribed to the Danes. |

This name is written from the Stat [Statistical] Acct [Account]. None of the present inhabitants can tell whether it was the original Parish Church of St Mary, but the traditions and legends relative to it are very numerous, it seemed to be a place of much veneration. It is said that a quantity of its clay was carried and strewn over the burying ground of the present parish church at Kilmory; There is a legend relating to a stone having extraordinary healing powers in connection with this but it is too obscure. There was a well of much esteemed sanctity in the neighbourhood of the Chapel, but it has been drained and ploughed over; even the burying ground has been much encroached on by the plough; It is still occasionally used as a burying ground, but chiefly for that of infants, |

Infants are still buried in it, & the wall that enclosed it may still be traced by its ruins, but the only monument of them which lie beneath, is a stone beautifully carved. A well once celebrated for its miraculous sanatory virtues, stands at a short distance from the Chapel " New Stat. [Statistical] Account.

The man concealed his prize, till he got it disposed of to a jeweller in Glasgow. It was therefore never submitted to the eye of an experienced Antiquary to ascertain either its age or probable use - From the description given of it, the probability is that it was the guard of a sword handle" New Stat [Statistical] Account.

A large Monolith or standing stone stood on this Knowe, but was broken, the portion to the surface still remains (probably sepulchral) and as all those standing stones are considered in Arran as the work of giants, and Fingal is believed to belong to that class of persons, hence the name, Torr an Fiannach (or Giants' Knowe). |

This Tumulus is being removed, it was originally a large cairn considerably higher than the surface of the adjacent ground, in its demolition an interior circle of large upright stones was discovered about ten feet in diameter (they are standing still) in the centre of which human bones and ashes were discovered. A quantity of the black clay which composed the inner circle was scattered over some ploughed land, they say the produce from which was enormous, far surpassing the same amount of Guano, from what I can learn from Nicol & Miller of Dipping, who levelled the Cairn it has all the characteristic of a regular tumulus. It is not mentioned in McArthurs Antiquities, but that work is very loose in its information, and detail. |

STANDING STONES [Largybeg Point] |
|
|
255.14 |
There is a natural mound with two standing stones situate a little to the North West of this point. ("Largybeg Point") and a little above high water.
This Mound is evidently an upheaving caused by the numerous dikes which interrupt the shore at this place. One of the standing stones is conjectured to be sepulchral, the other seems protruded by the upheaving already mentioned
McArthur's Antiquities mentions numerous stone Cists found in this locality, but that assertion is in direct variance with the people of the locality who never heard of such. It is more than probable he is confounding "Largybeg" with "Largymore" in the neighbourhood, on which place is situate the "Giants Graves". |

It has been very large but has been partly demolished, and the bones and ashes strewn over the field for manure, (by a Mr. McKinnon of Lag) there are strange legends in connection with the affair that has made a fearful impression on the natives, who are predisposed to the supernatural, they say a hurricane shook his house to the foundation on the night of the [the] occurrence, when not a blast of wind was felt in the neighbourhood, that fear and terror haunted him till he was shortly afterwards Killed, by a fall from his horse when one night returning from Brodick;
Of the three tumuli on Clauchog farm, the larger one immediately beside the garden, has been dug into some years ago by the present tenant Mr. Spiers, for the purpose of erecting a flag staff, the labourers came on a large square flag, which was partly raised by a lever under his direction when he discovered a large cavity with human bones, he immediately without further inspection relaid the flag in its original position, and erected the [flag] flagstaff on the top of it. He believes it to be the grave of a Chieftain
The Tumulus beside the Lime Kiln has been untouched The smaller tumulus to the east of the Lime Kiln has been partly demolished and ploughed, numerous stone cists, human bones, and as I learn from D. Cook above mentioned who assisted at the demolition several urns were likewise found but they invariably went into dust with the touch of the hand. |

John Murchie an intelligent old man living on the farm (with many other of the old inhabitants) call it the "priests' house", others again call it a "Chapel,"
I would be disposed to agree with the latter, there is a small plot of ground about the ruin, which has the appearance of a small burying place, which does not seem to have been ever disturbed by the plough. The object is analagous in appearance to the sites of the other Chapels in Arran. |
