Site of FORT [note]
It appears from the description and site of this object that it was an ancient British hill fort and therefore ought to be written "Site of Fort" as usual in such cases.
See extract below.
"Upon the Summit of one of the Sidlaw hills called the Whitesheets about a mile north of the
church there are evident traces of an ancient fortification. About 2 acres have been enclosed with
deep ditches and Stone walls. This fortification Stands 1400 feet above the level of the sea. Both
history and tradition are Silent respecting its original design."

Ph [Parish] of Auchterhouse -- Sheet 49 No. 6 Trace 6
The house of Auchterhouse is the only manor house in this parish. It is an old building the property of
the Earl of Airlie and inhabitted by Lady Helen Wedderburn and family; and with its orchard
almost close to it is the best specimen now in this part of the country of an old baronial residence.
Near it is a ruin from which it is the opinion of some people that the parish takes its name.
It is a square tower of great thickness of wall part of a strong building which when entered
had occupied a much larger space than the present house. It is called Wallace Tower and the
name had perhaps been given it on purpose to perpetuate the remembrance of a visit paid by
the great Scottish patriot to his contemporary and particular friend Sir John Ramsay, this friend
at that time of the barony of Auchterhouse. That Sir William Wallace did visit Sir John
Ramsay at Auchterhouse there can be no doubt for it is particularly recorded that on land
at Montrose with his French auxiliaries for the recovery of his native country from the English
Good Sir John Ramsay and the Ruthven true
Barclay and Bisset, with men not a few
Do Wallace meet.-all canty keen and Crouse
Did with three hundred march to Auchterhouse
