Gallows Know Continued
"In 1822 the proprietor of Lathro, on trenching some of his grounds which had been planted 60 or 70 years before, came upon 13 graves, which did not appear to contain any coffins; but in one of them were two bodies, and a skull filled with undecayed teeth. This burying ground was on an eminence beside the ground trenched, and called the Gallows Knowe, and hence it is naturally supposed to have been the place of public execution. This burying ground must have been used before the Abolition of heritable jurisdictions, and when the proprietors of the Estate of Kinross had the power of Pit and Gallows, with regard to the bodies discovered, they were again committed to the earth, and the spot where they were found has been planted anew."

Mr. Williamson
New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] |
022 |
[situation] 1 1/2 Miles E. [East] of Balado.
[Quotation] "In the month of April 1829, some labourers employed by John W. Williamson, found about 2 feet below the surface, imbedded in what appeared to be travelled earth, an ancient seal of pure gold, of a circular shape, eight tenths of an inch in diameter, and and two-tenths of an inch in thickness. It has two small wings also of gold joined in the centre by a neat hinge, which folds flat on the upper side of the seal, and when raised serves for a handle. This very curious piece of workmanship, weighing four sovereigns, appears from its flat shape to have been intended for the pocket; and has engraved on it the Royal arms of Scotland impaled on the dexter side, with those of England on the Sinister, it was at once considered according to the laws of heraldry, as the private seal of or Signet of a Scottish King, who had married an English Princess. The Seal was Shewn to several Edinburgh antiquaries; and among others to the late Sir Walter Scott, the late Sir Patrick Walker, Mr. Auriol Hay, and Mr. W. Clark, all of whom were decidedly of the opinion, that it was the personal seal of the unfortunate James IV., who fell on the fatal field of Flodden. James, it is well Known, Married Margaret, daughter of Henry VII. of England." New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]
[Note] The spot shewn on trace is (as near as Mr. Williamson can recollect) the place where the seal was found (signed) J.Byrne C. Asst. [Civilian Assistant] |

"On the barony of Coldrain or Collins Drains as it is originally stiled, there is a place called Hall Yard, adjoining the present Tennant's house, its form is an oblong square, with the corners a little rounded. It contains nearly an acre of land considerably raised above the Surface of the ground on the North, East, and South, It is surrounded with a ditch, which at present, is in most places pretty entire. Within this area stood a building, which seems to have been of some note and Strength. The country tradition is that it was a hunting place belonging to the Earls of Atholl. New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] [Note] Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]
The ditches are now filled up, and has been ploughed over, nothing remains to be seen but 2 Trees at the Southwest corner, and its form can only be traced by its being a little higher than the Surface of the field. |
