Antiquarians have Conjectured that this Column was set up by the Danes to commemorate the exploits of some illustrious warrior, who had fallen on this spot during an engagement consequent upon their hostile invasion of Fife in the reign of Constantine II. While others have Supposed that it was reared by the Scots to perpetuate their successful resistance of the foreign foe who had encamped on both sides of the Leven." New Statistical Account |
