Falkland
18th Sept 1854

Sir,

I have made every enquiry from the most intelligent persons in this neighbourhood relating to the Antiquities noticed by the late Col [Colonel] Miller but with the exception of the East Lomond Maiden Castle & Palace there are not any traces of Forts which I can discover in Plan 16 D

On the lands of Glasslie it is stated by Col [Colonel] Miller that there are 3 circular Forts but the resident tenant who has been many Years on the farm believes that Col [Colonel] Miller transformed in his writings Sheep Folds or Faulds as they are Styled here into forts and fortification Major Wilson of Easter Ballo and O T Bruce Esq. of Falkland House are of the Same opinion.
Many Years ago previous to the Lomond Hills being enclosed these were numerous Sheep Folds erected on both Sides of the Lomond range for the protection of Sheep and up to this date many of them are traceable.
