Castle of Clova [note]
"The boundary of the old garden" (of the house of Clova
a residence of the Lords of Clova & Cortachy) "is yet traceable, but
the foundations of the house are completely erased. Not so with those of the previous Castle or
Peel, which is still a prominent & imposing object, situated on the west side of Benread (a comp:
aritively smooth or tame mountain as the name implies), which rises to the north of the Millton
The Peel commands an extensive and delightful view of the Glen & consists of a fragment about 20 feet high
with walls fully four feet thick. It is traditionally attributed to the time of the Lindsays, and the occupant, says the same authority, having rendered himself obnoxious
to his brother barons, a party marched against him under night and set his castle on fire"
