The parish contains about 120 367 statute acres, there are no detached portions of this parish nor are there any portions of any other parish situated within it.

The straths are numerous and very beautiful, particularly those along the rivers of Langwell, Berriedale, and Dunbeath. The whole line of coast is composed of bold and perpendicular rocks, rising [continued on page 2] |

The remains of this fortress stands on the top of a rocK bound island, level with the Main land, almost opposite the mouth of Burn of East Clyth. Access is had to it by steps in the cliff on the land side. It seems to have been surrounded at one period at high tides. The outline of a narrow rectangular wall is still visible. but from all appearance this is of modern erection. The proprietor is said to have been a branch of the Gunn family. It has therefore been probably in existence during the same era with it (Halberry Castle)

Little of it was exposed to view after that. * * what of it remained was Completely eradicated by the extension of Cultivation, the remains of the chapel are liKely to have become part of other buildings of a modern date. The priests house as report hath it was situated on the rising Ground above the junction of the "Burn of Houstry and Dunbeath water" Such is the local account at the present day. |

Sir John Sinclair, then Proprietor fled at his approach, leaving his lady and followers for defence, who surrendered after a short resistence. This occupation was of short duration, as the DuKe of Montrose was taKen prisoner, same year and executed. Property of William Thomson Sinclair Esq: of FreswicK. |
