016 | [situation] 7/8 mile S.W. [South West] of the town of Falkland. This hill or mountain is situated on the East end of and forms the highest part of the Lomonds in this quarter. It is immediately South of and overhanging as it were the Town of Falkland. The view from the summit to all quarters is extensive and the North and South Sides are so Steep that the inhabitants have styled the South side Hurdies Law from the fact of many people having to slide down on their bottom. The hill is considered to be about 1466 above the level of the Sea and history as well as tradition considers that the Romans had extensive fortifications on the summit indeed the appearance of the highest point leads to the same conclusion namely that works of an artificial nature had been erected at some former period. |
