A small arable field on the farm of Prora, in which it said that a man named Livingston had a conflict with a wild boar which infested the neighbourhood. The whole line of the Peffer including part of the lands of Fenton and Chapel, and stretching towards North Berwick Law is said to have been at one time covered with wood, the den of wild beasts, and greatly infested with wild boars, one of which is said to have been of great size, and exceedingly destructive to those who dwelt in that neighbourhood. Livingston for a promised reward attacked this beast near Luffness, and is supposed was in this field where he destroyed it. A short distance from this a Standing stone marks the place where the boar fell. |

This name applies to the remains of an ancient Pictish town and Camp situated on the top of a low hill of a conical form, which is almost level on its summit, and contains about two acres of land. The houses, the foundations of which are still distinct, and had been built round the sides of the summit in regular rows. The town had been througly fortified, first by a deep circumvallation, and higher up the sides of the hill by three ramparts on the N.E. [North East] and W. [West] and by 2 on the south side. On the west side of the hill are 2 deep trenches in succession, before coming to the first circumvallation, and higher up the sides of the hill be three ramparts on the N.E. [North East] & W. [West] and by 2 on the south side. On the west side of the hill are 2 deep trenches in succession, before coming to the first circumvallation, the out works appear to have been raised on account of a small Roman station in that direction about half a mile from the Pictish town. This station appears to have been in the field immediately East of Campton farm house, as one of the workmen while ploughing it a few years ago turned up a large urn of superior workmanship and other Roman implements. No remains of this station can now be traced. See Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] 1841 |

From the shape, construction, and situation of the remains of houses noticed in the Descriptive Remarks, it is very probable that they were Picts' houses, and as these are very interesting remains of antiquities which are found in many parts of Scotland particularly in the northern part. It is therefore advisable to write some designation to these remains on plan. |

"On the barony of Drem are the remains of a Pictish town situated on the top of a low hill
of a Conical form which is almost level on the summit and which contains about two acres
of land. The houses, the foundations of which are still obvious had been built round the sides of the summit
n regular rows and the greater part in a conical form. In the centre are the foundations
of oblong houses of larger dimensions. The conical houses are generally 12 feet in diameter within
the walls. The town had been strongly fortified, - first by a deep circumvalation and higher up
the sides of the hill by three ramparts quite perpendicular: from the top of the one rampart
to the bottom of the higher there is a level space of 18 feet from whence the inhabitants could
defend themselves with great advantage from their assailants. On the west side of the hill
looking towards Edinburgh are three deep trenches in succession, before coming to the first circumvalation.
These outworks appear to have been raised on account of a small Roman station in that direction
about half a mile from the Pictish town, for several Roman implements have been found there and
two years ago a large urn of superior workmanship containing calcined bones was found in the same spot.
The name of the farm-stead is commonly called Captain-Head which is evidently a corruption for
Camptown Head. The urn is in the possession of Mr David Skirving farmer of Camptown Head. They
belong to the Earl of Hopeton." Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Haddington Page 50.

there is no tradition and history is silent." Fullartons Gazetteer of Scotland. |

In the reign of Achaius the 65th King of Scotland in the 9th century Buchanan mentions an account of a wasting
war between the Picts and the Anglosaxons Hungus the King of the Picts obtained 10,000 auxiliaries from Achaius .
"Athelstan, the Anglo Saxon king, however being an enterprising warrior marched with such celerity that he came
up with Hungus not far from Haddington. The Picts dismayed at the sudden approached of their enemies stood
immediately to their arms and kept themselves in their stations till very late. Having set the watch for the night Hungus
being inferior in other respects desired the divine aid and gave himself wholly up to prayer. At last his
body being weary with labour and his mind oppressed with anxiety, he seemed to behold Andrew
the Apostle standing by him in his sleep and promising him the victory. This vision being declared to the Picts filled
them full of Hope, so that they prepared themselves with great alacrity for a combat which could not be
avoided. The next day was wholly spent in light skirmishes and on the third they came to a pitched battle. Some say
that another prodigy appeared in the heavens bearing the semblance of a diagonal cross or that of St Andrew at
the time of the engagement which so terrified the English that they could hardly sustain the first onset of the Picts.
Athelstan who was slain there gave name to the place of battle which is yet called Athelstan's Ford.
Hungus ascribed the victory to St Andrew, to whom besides other offerings he devoted the tithes of his Royal demesnes.
I am of opinion that this was the Athelstan Commander of the Danes to whom the English affirm Northumberland
to have been granted by Alfred. Achaius died in the 32nd year of his reign and in that of our Lord 819."

"The parish of Athelstaneford whatever Gaelic etymologists may say derived its name probably from a
that owed its appelation to some person. To Athelstan the Anglo-Saxon conqueror who overcame Lothian in
934 A.D. is attributed this name. Camden contradicts this probability by saying that an English Commander
called Athelstan was Killed here in 815 A.D.. And Buchanan romances about a Danish chief who was
slain here by the Picts. But neither Camden nor Buchanan assign any proof for his assertion."
Chalmers Caledonia vol [volume] 2 p. [page] 576.
"Athelstanford is named from Athelstan an English commander who was slain here in battle with the Scots
about the beginning of the 9th century. In the second volume of Camden's Brittania there is the following statement.
'A little from Haddington Stands Athelstaneford so named from Athelstan an English Commander who was
slain with his men there about the year 815 but that this was Athelstan the warlike King of the West Saxons must
be utterly denied if we have any regard to the time and manner of his death. Tradition still points to the place
near the ford of the brook where Athelstan fell and was buried' "

This name applies to piece of ground on the farm of Muirhouses situate about 3/4 of a mile North of Athelstaneford Village & marked by two upright stones about 3 feet high at the North and Southern extremities of the site shown. The Battle was fought in the year 815 between the Scots & Saxons and the latter was defeated in the flight of the Saxons their commander Athelstan was killed by an Archer when crossing the Cogtail Burn a short distance above the Farm offices of Athelstonford New Mains, a few years ago when William Steven "my informant" was quarrying some stones for repairing the roads close at the West end of the above named Farm he came upon a stone coffin about 2 1/2 feet below the surface containing the remains of a human body, part of the cranium & under jaw with some of the teeth was got out complete. The 5 slabs which composed the coffin & the under jaw are in possession of Sir David Kinloch of Gilmerton - "History records that the lands on which the battle was fought & won was given to the Culdee Priory of St Andrews by the King of the Scots as an acknowledgement of gratitude to heaven for the victory obtained. At the Reformation when monkish institutions were abolished in Scotland those lands were conferred on the Chapel Royal of Holyroodhouse and forms a part of the income of the present Dean. The late Sir David Kinloch of Gilmerton obtained from the Crown a perpetual lease of these lands at the following rent :- Wheat 46 Bolls Linlithgow Measure Barley 51 Bolls ditto Oats 35 Bolls ditto. Kain fowls: 1 dozen of hens 2 dozen of poultry or chickens. The rent is doubled for one year at every singular succession of the Family of Kinloch of Gilmerton. |
