O T Bruce Esqr
Mr F Howden Factor
016 An enclosed portion of ground bounded on the N. [North] by Bracks on the West by Balharvie Moss it is about 21 chains long and 15 broad & was probably used at one time as a place for procuring peat however its appearance at the present time would indicate no such idea. It is probable that peat might have been got at the West Side & SW [South West] but from the appearance of the soil on the other sides it is more than probable that no peat were ever cut there.
