Principal farm was Church land, and

Pope at the sum of £132.18.8 Scots money
and 4 bolls of pease. Tradition says that
the feuar was a Mr. Scott, of the family of
Balwearie in Fife, who, to distinguish it
from other places called Craig, prefixed
his own name to it. hence Scotscraig, the
name which the whole estate now bears:
A portion of the Archbishops room is still
pointed out in a fragment of the old mansion-house,
now forming part of the garden wall. The
present house was built in 1807, and is a
large and Substantial building.

A small oblong building with two Circular Towers at two of the opposite corners, one of these towers is two Storys high with a stone arched roof, the other tower And the remainder of it is only one Story high and has likewise a stone arched roof. the walls at base are seven feet thick and are indented with embrasures and are of Considerable Strength. the date or by who it was erected are locally unknown. the first named authority says that it is locally supposed to have been so far erected as a place of strength in Connection with the "Castle" at "Broughty" on the opposite side of the "River Tay" and when so far erected that the building was abandoned - this is the current opinion relative to it - but is nothing more than mere conjecture it locally gets the given name. It is occupied by the proprietor as a Store room for lumber of different sort. |

[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. On
this point however we are left entirely to conjecture. New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fife pp 83.84" |

The site of this Roman Camp (supposed Roman) was pointed out to me by these two authorities. There is nothing known of it in the locality except its name. It is on the property of John Berry Esqr. of Tayfield.
[Note] From recent enquiry the following answer has been returned from the country. "David Maill of Newport and Andrew Gullane of Chesterhill both old men and natives of this place, say that they have always heard of a Roman Camp being here and they further state that it is currently believed throughout the parish that it was a Roman Camp. Human bones were, they say, found about the spot but they never heard of arms of any kind being found here." (signed) Thomas Smith C.A. [Civilian Assistant] |
