OS1/13/32/50 50 Parish of Ferry Plan Trace 1 - 2 foot [Note] "The only interesting object of antiquity in the parish is the remains of an old building usually denominated the Castle. Of its original purpose and designs however there is no certain account to be found. From the construction of the building itself there is reason to believe that it was erected after the use of firearms and probably it may have been designed to constitute a protection against the entrance of any hostile force by the river and for that purpose to act in concert with the Castle of Broughty, on the opposite Shore.
