A small building on the Island of Inch Garvie, understood, by the persons whose names are quoted in the Column for Authorities, to have been erected in the Reign of James IV, and to have been subsequently used as a State prison - being at that time fortified. It was repaired and mounted with cannon during the late war. It also was repaired at the time "Paul Jones" appeared in the Firth. From that time the buildings and Battery were allowed to go to ruin. The guns which were there have been long since removed.
The House or castle as it is called, is in a very ruinous state. The most part of the roof having fallen in lately. The Battery is in better preservation and has a modern appearance. |

The remains of a fort on Inch Garvie believed to have been erected by Cromwells army in 1651, by the Gentlemen quoted in the Column for Authorities. It consists of a low roughly built wall, with embrasures, and of an oval figure, and has the appearance of being of an earlier date than the "Castle" owing in a great measure to its exposure to the weather and the castle being several times repaired, the walls are about 4 1/2 feet high and about a yard in width - and is constructed of rough small stones & mortar.
It is situated on the western part of the island - and there is no tradition connected with it but what is historical. |

A long narrow rock stretching a short distance into the Firth of Forth near Donibristle House. The derivation is unknown. Probably it is derived from Downan which signifies a Green hillock, the point being covered with very green grass. It is known or spelt in no other way in the locality than Downing.
