Comrie Hill [Note] "On the part where the Tower stands, there was
a small artificial mound, on removing which
it evidently appeared to have been a burnt mould
and many fragments of deers horns were found
in it. From several appearances, this hill is
supposed to have been in former days a military
Station, or at all events a place of natural rendezvous." New Stat. Acct." [Statistical Account]
