"The name of this parish, in old times, had a different orthography from that now in use. At the beginning of the 13th Century it was written "Edale" and "Adel" in the ancient Taxatio, which was rated at a subsequent period. In both cases the word may be considered as essentially the same, signifying "plain or meadow" ground, & quite descriptive of the most valuable half of the parish, or that part of which lies without the boundary of Glenesk. In Rolt's life of John the 20th Earl of Crawford, it is written "Edgehill" & so pronounced to this day & believed to be the true etymon, from the fact that the great bulk of the Arable land lies from the Edge of the hill Southward. In all documents posterior to the date of the two first, the orthography differs little

[continued from page 1]
"from the present "Edzell" which implies "the cleft or dividing of the waters,"- a rendering which is also favored by the physical aspect of the parish, in so far as it is bounded on the south and west by the West Water, and on the East by the North Esk, both of which rivers unite at the South-east extremity." Land of the Lindsays
The parish is bounded on the North and East by the parishes of Strachan & Fettercairn in Kincardineshire; on the West and South-West by the parishes of Lochlee & Lethnot & Navar; and on the South by the parish of Stracathro.
The Antiquities if the parish are the Castles of Edzell (20.5), Auchmull (14), Shanno (13) Dalbog (20.1) & another which is conjectured to be the site of the ancient Castle of Edzell (see Castle Hill 20.5): the old parish Church of Edzell (20.5) the Chapel of Neudos (site of 14) Neudos is a suppressed parish & was united to Edzell upwards of 200 yards [years] ago. The site of Stone Circles at Dalbog & Colmeallie (14.13 & 13): the Gallows Knap (the place of Execition 20.9) & the Pit (place of interment 20.5) and a Sepulchral Cairn 7 - There is a good Village in the parish (Edzell) which contains the Parish Church & School, a Free Church and School, a Post Office, Gas Works, Two Inns, & a branch of the Union Bank of Scotland. There is no portion of this parish detached, but a portion is in KincardineShire, nor is there any portion of any other parish contained within the boundary of this parish. |

In the hollow ground, however, on the east side, a circular patch of from four to six yards in breadth was accidentally discovered some years ago in the middle of a gravel hillock and found to contain a quantity of black earth to the depth of 4 feet,"
The spot where this earth was found is shewn on trace and is supposed by the farmer to have been the remains of a burial ground, though no bones were found in it. |

A good farm steading the property of the Earl of Dalhousie. The two latter modes quoted in pronouncing this name, if they ever existed, are now entirely unknown. Jarvise in his work supposes the name to be a corruption of Kilmeallie, the kirk or cell on a small eminence; It is quite as likely from the appearance of the place, and the sound of the word, that it is derived from Coille-maoile. The wood or grove on the brow of a hill, There are however sufficient grounds for supposing that a place of worship stood here, see Kirk Hill, & Kirk Burn & Circle. |

"At Colmeallie on the base of Mount Battock are two so called Druidical Circles, one with a portico or entrance enclosing an area of 45 feet by 36, the other less" New Statistical Account
There is now the remnants of only one of those circles nor does the farmer recollect for the last 60 years of any other. The following description from Jarvises Land of the Lindsays is here quoted -
"The circles of Colmeallie are of the Common Concentric kind, and the outer encloses an area of forty five by thirty six feet, and consists in all of from fifteen to twenty stones, including three large slabs in the centre, which are supposed to have formed the altar. Some of the boulders are of great size and weight, and, with the exception of three, are all prostrated or mutilated. Those standing are each pretty nearly five feet four inches above ground, one of them is three feet nine broad, another two feet three, and the third about one foot eight inches, At thickest they are respectively thirteen, fourteen, and twenty inches, The largest lies on the ground, and is nine feet five inches long by seven feet five broad.

[continued from page 17]
"equal dimensions with the erect stones are built into the adjoining dyke, and another is so high and strong as to form the centre support or pillar of a cart shed. Although these circles are erroneously described in the New Statistical Account, (where they are stated as being almost complete) many old people remember of them being more entire than they are now, but the late tenant was one of too many who saw no use in going a little distance for building materials when he could get them at his door, however revered or valuable, and, as his Gothicism was either unknown to, or unheeded by his landlord, one stone after another dissappeared in whole, or was blown to pieces, as circumstances required,"

A ruin situated about 10 chains west of the old farmhouse of "Shanno", which stands upon a prominent and cultivated eminence, on the west side of "River North Esk" about a mile north of "Auchmull". It is about 46 feet long and 20 broad, the walls only remain and are about 3 feet thick and 4 ft. [feet] in height. There has apparently been an enclosure on the south side, but now used as a Sheep Ree. "Young Edzell fled from justice, and took up his abode in the Castle of Auchmull, Invermark, and Shanno, all situate in Glenesk, and in points so difficult of acess, particularly the last mentioned, that he contrived to evade his pursuers for a considerable period. His father was prohibited from sheltering him under heavy penalties, and it was on his being hunted from Auchmull and Invermark, that he erected the fortalice at Shanno which is known synonimously as the "Castle" and "Auldha'", and of which foundations still remain on the hill side to the west of the farm house."

This Castle or tower has been about 30 feet square, A portion of it - parts of the North and South and the whole of the West end - still stand about 3 feet high and about 2½ feet in thickness. The remainder is only traceable.
"It was occupied by the farmer down to 1772-3 when he found it so inconvenient, that he offered to bear the cost of a new house on the proprietor's agreeing to let him have the wood, iron &c. out of the old Castle..... and the work of destruction once begun, had only its limit in the complete annihilation of the stronghold.... and only a small portion of the foundations are now traceable" ...
Jarvise's Land of the Lindsays
"One of the family" (the Lindsays) "about the beginning of last century" (the 17th presumably) "built a small Castle called "Auchmull" in this Parish".

The foundation of this building can be easily traced, the track rising about a foot above ground. It has been about 55 feet long and 17 broad. A stone basin, said to be the font, and now considerably mutilated lies a short distance from its West end. The Burying ground in which it is situated is still used.
"The date of the grant of lands in the parish of Neudos to the Knights" (of St. John of Jerusalem) "is unknown, but the parish was in the diocese of St. Andrew's, and paid an annual to that Cathedral of four marks Scots, The thick, closely cemented foundations of the Church, are still traceable in the Kirkyard, which is yet used for interments, and the baptismal font, of an octagonal shape, is broken in twain, and used as grave marks, ....The precise time of its" (Neudos') "Union with Edzell has not been ascertained, but it cannot be much short of 200 years, since about that time the first notice occurs of the inhabitants attending the Kirk of Edzell in this quaint, but satisfactory record: "Given to Andrew, the minister's man, for putting ye [the] people of Newdosk over the watter in a coble 20s.

This was a fine spring of Water, but was drained off about 30 years ago. Nothing now remains to mark the spot, but the well is well remembered by the Old people about the place.
"In a field called the piper's shed nearly a mile east of the old kirk a copious fountain bears the name of "St. Dristan", or St. Drostan, to whom in all likelihood the kirk had been dedicated, Like all consecrated Springs this is said to have wrought numerous and wonderful miracles",

"Black, the tenant of Mill of Lethnot, and the laird of Edzell having quarrelled about the rent of the farm, the laird was so annoyed at him that he determined to rid himself of the turbulent miller in the most summary manner, Black was accordingly summoned on some pretence, to Edzell Castle one winter's night, and the laird having previously arranged with a person of the name of Cobb to waylay, and attack him at the most dangerous part of the road, Black was pounced upon on returning home when a desperate struggle ensued betwixt him and his antagonist, After much parrying, Black proved victorious and threw Cobb over the Cliff into a deep pool, where his body was found some days after, From this incident the place has been associated with the names of both parties, the high Cliff being known as Cobb's Heugh and the pool as Black's pot"

A farm steading, the property of the Earl of Dalhousie, People in this district when writing this name spell it "Burnsagard" or "sagart", and when speaking of it change the "Burn" into "Bon", Both are evidently corruptions, the original Gaelic having been doubtless Baile nan Sagart or Priests' town and has reference, in some manner, to the Chapel or Circle at Dalbog. In Forfarshire we find "Baile-na" or "Baile nan" to be invariably corrupted into "Bonny" or "Bon". "Bon" being therefore nearest the original, ought to be adopted. |

The traditionary existence of an old Castle at Dalbog is well known to the present tenant, who received it from his Father and Grandfather the previous tenant to whom Thomas Waldie removed the walls referred to in the Extract given below. This was probably an old defensible building similar to the so-called Castle at Shanno [Initialled] J.B. Lt Col. R.E [Lieutenant Colonel Royal Engineers]
A building with very thick walls, lately erased at the East end of the farm house of the Wood of Dalbog, was known by the name of "the Castle" and of this the "Wicked Master" took forcible possession in the time of Earl David of Edzell and carried on his predatory and annihilating labours in the district and tenantry of Glenesk and neighbourhood - "Jervise's Land of the Lindsays" |

A rising ground on the farm of Wood of Dalbog; It is covered with wood, A tradition, as to the origin of its name, is to the effect that Lord Adam Gordon, who caused the wood to be planted, was commander of the forces, and employed a person bearing the rank of Serjeant to Superintend the planting. Mr. Jarvise in his Land of the Lindsays gives, however, a different version, He supposes a Castle to have stood at Wood of Dalbog, and makes the following statement. "In the neighbourhood of the Site of the Old Castle of Dalbog , we have, for instance, the "Serjan' Hill," or the place where the old Serjeant of the barony resided," |

"The Castle of Edzell is a very extensive ruin, & consists of two towers connected together by what had once been a range of magnificent apartments. The square tower on the South, called Stirling's Tower, is evidently of much older date than the rest of the building, Tradition reports that this tower was built and inhabited by a family of the name of Stirling, from whom it descended, by marriage, to the Lindsays of Glenesk,. The round tower on the North, and other parts of the Castle, appear to have been built at different periods, after it came into the Lindsay family, Edzell was one of the Castles which Cromwell, in 1651, occupied with a garrison. It ceased to be a residence, in 1714, when its owner left it,"

A village situated on the land of the Earl of Dalhousie, who, being its superior, the proprietors of the houses pay to him feu duty, It is gradually increasing in importance, and is much resorted to by visitors in Summer, Formerly, when much smaller, this village was known by the name of Slateford, which, indeed, some of the old people call it yet, That name seems to be gradually getting lost sight of as the village increases, The name of Slateford doubtless arose from a Ford here, over the River North Esk, which in all likelyhood bore that name. The village is comprised of two streets, nearly parallel, and running nearly north and South, Those streets are supported by the Statute Labour Road Money, from pavement to pavement, |

A farmsteading and Corn Mill the property of the Earl of Dalhousie, The Factor, from his rental book, spells this name is such a manner as to spoil its derivation, and is moreover contrary to the popular method, The ancient name of the West Water was Dye, hence from the land lying at the confluence of the two rivers, we have the name Inver-Esk-an-Dye. i.e the Confluence of the Esk and of the Dye. |
