033 | "Many centuries before the erection of this Parish, the lands of which it consists are said to have taken their [name] from Carald, a Danish leader, who, in his flight from the battle of Aberlemno, was slain not far from the present farm house of Nether Careston and in order to perpetuate the memory of this achievement, his victors raised over his place of sepulture a barrow, and on it erected an obelisk, named from him Carald's Stane, contracted afterwards into the more modern term Careston. The obelisk has long since been removed but the barrow yet remains". New Statl. [Statistical] Account. [continued on page 20] |
