194.13 | This church formerly quoad sacra, has been recently erected into an independent Parish Church, It stands on a gentle eminence between the bays, of Kames and Etterick, it is a very neat stone building Surrounded by a triangular piece of ground which has been converted into a burying ground, This Church is generally called by the inhabitants, Croch Kan-Raa Church, from its proximity to that remarkable fort. |

194.13 | A remarkable hill fort, This place seems to have been altered from its original appearance by the late Mr. Hamilton of Kames, who surrounded it with a stone wall, and otherwise altered its internal appearance and fixed on it, as the place of his interment, his tomb stands in the centre of the fort, The Revd [Reverend] Mr. McBride ascribes this, (and another on the Etterick farm, near the bay of that name) to the Danes, he says they are perfectly similar to the Irish "Raths" or forts - See Chalmers page 95 upon the Irish Raths or Hillforts. |
