Dr. [Reverend Doctor] Buchanan Ph [Parish] Minister Mr Muir Factor This parish occupies the southern part of the Island of Bute. It takes its name frrom a promontory forming its extreme point to the South, called in the Gaelic language Ceann Garbh, which Signifies Stromyend, or Stormyhead. It is 6½ Miles in length from North to South: & its Average breadth is 2½ Miles. It is bounded on the North and North west by Loch Ascog, a part of Loch FAd and Quien Loch which separate it from the parish of Rothsay. And on the East, South, and West, by the Firth of Clyde. It is irregular in figure, being indented by Several Small bays on both Sides; but it gradually narrows from its northern extremity, till it becomes an isthmus of a Mile & a half in breadth, beyond which it forms a peninsula of 2 Miles in legth, terminating in the promontory above mentioned. The Coast to the east & south is for the most part rocky, in many places precipitously at a little distance from the shore, in ridges that appear to have at a former period served as a barrier to the Sea, & to have been subsequently raised by volcanic action to their present level. To the West the coast

"A treasure trove was once found, on the 14th of Aug 1813, Some labourers employed in cutting the road through Ascog bank, discovered within a recess of the rock, and covered with about 15 inches of earth and rubbish, an immence quantity of ancient silver coins. The overseer of the workmen gathered about a soup platefull in his hat, and covered the place with Stones, intending to explore it fully on Monday, as it was now Saturday evening, but some Irishmen who were employed at the work returned the same evening with a lantern, and dug up such a quantity as made it worth their while to desert before morning, and they never returned. It is understood that they went to Glasgow and sold

OS1/6/4/4 [TREASURE TROVE (1813) Ascogbank] Sold their prize. Several of the Rothesay labourers returned on the Sunday, and collected about as many as the overseer had got which would be about 4lbs. In their haste, those 2 parties had scattered some of them amongst the earth, and a good many were picked up by the boys in the course of that day. About two-thirds of the coins were English pennies of Edward 11 and 111, and a few of Edward 1. There were a few Irish pennies of the same reigns, also a few Scottish coins of Alexander 111 and Robert Bruce, and one or two of John Baliol:- the remainder were coins of Flanders etc. As there were no coins among them later than the reign of Edward 111 of England, it is presumed that they were hid in his reign :- and as no private individual in Scotland, was likely to have had so much English money, it is supposed that it may have been the Military Purse, which the paymaster of Rothesay Castle had escaped with, and hid here, at the time it surrendered to the vassals of the Steward of Scotland in 1335, and that he may have been killed, or afraid to return in search of it."

They are from 7 to 8½ feet high from the surface of the ground; in breadth from 4 to 6 feet; and from 15 inches to 6 feet thick. "The circle has been supposed, when entire, to have been formed by seven stones; but the vacant space appears to leave room only for two, and to limit the original number to five.

OS1/6/4/51 STANDING STONES [Stravanan] Standing Stones Standing Stones Standing Stones Estate Map New Stat [Statistical] Account Wilsons guide to Bute 215.14 "Towards the west shore 3 very large stones are standing" Those three stones have been variously conjectured to have been connected with Druidical rites, or the mark a scene of battle, and to have served as monuments for persons who fell in it, most probably it was the latter object for which they were erected. They are situated on a plain at the foot of a gently rising ground, half a mile distant from the bay of Stravanan, where an enemy was likely to land; and indicate a position Singularly favourable for a defending force. On the other hand they have little appearance of a Druidical erection. They are placed in a line running nearly from north to South, and are made to face towards the east and west; and although their direction has a slight inclination towards being circular, the circumstance may have been accidental; and if they formed part of a circle it must have been greatly larger than that above mentioned.

[Statistical Account] Wilsons Guide to Bute Origines Parochiales 227.02 On the west shore stands the fort of Dun-na-goil (the fortified hill or rock of the Lowlanders) near the bay to which is gives its name. It is formed by a ridge of rock 50 feet high, rising with a steep ascent from the sea on the west side, perpendicular to the north and east, narrow and difficult of access towards the south, with a level space of some extent on the summit; along the verge of this space towards the west & South, are the remains of a wall, built apparently for the defence of the place where it was most accessible, the precipitousness of the rock serving for a natural defence on the other sides, The external parts of this wall appear to have been completely vitrified. The heart is formed of stone partially fused. The stone chiefly used in the structure is whinstone of which the rock itself is composed. The station is a very advantageous one, it commands the most natural, and perhaps the best landing place on the whole coast; and it affords a complete view seawards, at once of the passage from the western seas by Kilbranan sound and of the entrance into the frith of Clyde from the south. All surmises as to its era or use are now vain. It has been conjectured to have been a Danish fort; its name would rather point it out to have been a hold, occupied by for whatever purpose by inhabitants of the neighbouring eastern or southern coasts, who, in common with those who dwelt in the interior southern portion of Scotland, were usually described in the Gaelic tongue by term Lowlander as retained in the deignation of this place. New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] In the North West end of this fort, there is a Cave of considerable extent. The late Mr. McKinlay of Rothesay examined it with a light, it runs under the highest ridge: it is 67 feet in length and widens a little near the inner end, where the roof of it rises into a kind of dome Wilsons Guide to Bute"

[Statistical Account] Wilsons Guide to Rothesay. Pennants Tour of 1772. Wilson's Prehistoric Annals Origines Parochiales 227.03 This church is supposed to have been founded by the saint whose name it bears, who flourished about the close of the tenth century. That a Church existed here at a period not much posterior, and that he was commonly regarded as having been a benefactor to it, there is evidence still extant to show, In a charter given by Allan, son of Walter the second Great Steward of Scotland, dated before the year 1204, conveying certain grants to the monastery of the Clunian order at Paisley, is contained in the following clause; "Also for the benefit of the Soul of King David, and the Soul of King Malcolm, and the Souls of Walter my father, and Eschene my mother; and for the salvation of our Lord William, King of Scotland, and his heirs, and the Salvation of myself and my heirs; I give, grant, and by this my deed, convey to the said monastery at Paisley, and the monks Serving God therein, the church of Kingaif (Kingarth) in the island of Bute, with all the chapels and the whole parish of that island, together with the whole of those lands of which the boundaries, said to have been fixed by St. Blane, are still apparent from sea to sea" From this charter, it would appear, also, that at the time of its date, this was the Parochial church of the whole island. The church stands on a level space raised by art. considerably above the adjoining ground, and enclosed by a wall of massy stones rudely piled one over another, 500 feet in cirfumrence. The whole of this space is found arched or built with mason work underneath, at a distance of two feet from the surface. Connected with it by a

OS1/6/4/64 THE NUNNERY [Continued] 227.03 a built passage that seems to have been underground, is another space on a lower level, and surrounded by a similar wall 124 feet in circumference, which is known by the name of the nunnery. It has been commonly Considered to have been the site of a Convent; on no authority that has been discovered, but that of tradition. Both spaces have been used for sepulture; but this ground is believed to have been set apart as a burying-place exclusively for females; and the ashes reposing in it have been little disturbed for ages, although frequent interments still take place in the other. A considerable portion of the walls of the church remain standing, and discover an Architecture of great antiquity. The elevation on which it is situated, is approached on the north by a flight of steps leading from a grove at a short distance, which contains a remarkable kind of building, of which the use remains altogether unknown. Thus consists of a wall forming a complete circle 30 feet in diameter; rising to 10 feet in height above the ground, and obviously filled with rubbish to some depth; 9 feet thick, and having a passage or gateway 9 feet wide. The erection was doubtless formed with a view to great strength, it is composed of rude stones many of them of immense size. The workmanship seems to be of a more remote date than that of any other part of the adjacent ruins; but its evident communication with these, shown by marks still remaining would indicate its having been connected with them, for whatever purpose. It is situated at the foot of a ridge of rocks running from north to south, 50 feet high, and forming at each end a junction with an outer wall, which marked, it is proble [probable] the Sacred precincts, and which comprehends a space of some extent beyond any ruins that remain.

OS1/6/4/65 THE CAULDRON 227.03 Descend to the ruins of old Kingarth Church, Two cemetries belong to it, a higher and a lower; the last was allotted for the interment of females alone; because in old times, certain women being employed to carry a quantity of holy earth brought from Rome lost some by the way, and so incurred the penalty for their negligence; that of being buried seperate from the other sex. Near this place is a circular enclosure called the Devils Cauldron; it is made of stone of excellent masonr, but without mortar, having the inside faced in the most smooth and regular manner; The walls at present are only 7 ft [feet] 6 in [inches] high, but are 10 feet in thickness; on one side is an entrance, wide at the beginning but grows gradually narrower as it approaches the area which is 30 feet diameter, This I presume could never have been designated as a place of defence as it is situated beneath a precipice, from whose summit the inmates might instantly have been oppressed by stones, or missile weapons perhaps it was a sanctuary, for the name of the church Kingarth implies, Kin, chief or head, Garth, a sanctuary; the common word for places of refuge, Girth being corrupted from it Pennants Tour of 1772
OS1/6/4/65 WALL [The Nunnery] 227.03 The ruins of the church of St. Blane stand on an Artificial mound, whose level top is enclosed by a stone wall 500ft [feet] in circumference. The whole of this space which was used as a cemetery, is arched with masonry about 2ft [feet] beneath the surface & from it there runs built passage which seems to have been underground to a smaller & lower enclosure of 124ft [feet] in circumference, locally known as "The Nunnery" & apparently used as a burying ground for females. The church is approached on the north by a flight of steps leading from a neighbouring wood in which there is a circular building, sometimes styled "the Devil's Cauldron" comprised of rude stones 10 ft [feet] in height, 30 ft [feet] in diameter, with walls 9 ft [feet] thick & an entrance 9 ft [Feet] wide. It stands at the base of a rocky ridge 50 ft [feet] high. from each end of which there runs out a wall supposed to have marked the limits of a Sanctuary, & founding perhaps the remains of the metae certae et apparentes attributed to St Blane.
