030 | [situation] About 30 ch [chains] south of East Brackly. Mr Greig an old intelligent man whose ancestors were Baron Bailiffs of this district for centuries past Says he has always heard it Stated that a British Camp was erected here by Galacus the Horestic or Caledonian Chief, and further that it was from this Camp he Sallied out on the Romans when they were entrenched at Lochore. Nothing remains of the Camp now Save the Slight appearance of an old Bank on the South Side. The north side was defended by a natural Steep Bank. No entrenchments as described by Sibbald are to be found now. |
