[Situation] Towards the South East of Forfarshire.
The name of this Parish is supposed to consist of Gaelic Dun a hill and Nechtan the name of a Pictish Chief who is traditionally reported to have lived in the district. The vernacular is Dunnachen.
The Parish of Dunnichen is bounded on the North by those of Forfar and Rescobie on the East by Rescobie Kirkden and Carmylie, on the South by Guthrie (DETd) [Detached] and on the West by Inverarity and Forfar. Part of it too is quite detached which is bounded by Kirkden Parish except on the S.E. [South East] where Carmylie adjoins or bounds it. The respective Areas of the two parts are 4094 and 828¾ acres making a total Area of 4922¾ acres. The surface in general consists of gently sloping ridges and is considerably high but does not shoot up into any very great elevations. Dunnichen Hill

[continued from page 1]
Dunnichen Hill on the Northern boundary, whose surface is nearly entirely cultivated is the highest ground the summit of which is 720 feet above sea level. The principal stream is Vinny Water a brook running along the base of Dunnichen Hill from West to East which receives at intervals several rills. The Parish is indifferently provided with roads. No Railway nor Turnpike traverses the district. Letham a village situate in the N.En. [North Eastern] district is a place of considerable rural importance and consists of several regularly built streets. In it are a Quoad Sacra Ph. [Parish], Free, Independent and United Presbyterian Churches Public Hall, Inns, Gas Works, Corn and Spinning Mills and two superiorly conducted Schools. There are two hamlets Dunnichen and Craichie in which respectively the Parish Church and School. Population at the last census 1884 - principally employed in weaving.
A Standing Stone in the vicinity of the Parish Church with defaced hieroglyphics upon it is said to be commemorative of a distinguished but forgotten chief. This Stone was some time ago removed from East Mains to its present situation. Slight indications of what is represented in district to have been a Fort still exist on Dumbarrow Hill - probably a corruption of Dunbarrow - the Fort on the Mound. A Tower the site of which is now excavated for building purposes stood in the Nn. [Northern] district, the origin and possession of which is unknown. The site of a Chapel dedicated to St. Causnan has been shown in the Nn. [Northern] district - Vide Statistics of Parish. A well a short distance to the West has the repute of having been a resort of Cardinal Beaton and of its Water having been conveyed to Arbroath Monastery.
