| Mowat's Seat or Mowat's Cairn (Continued | 018 | [continued from page 3] family" in Angus, the ancient lords of the district" - The author also describes the Seat or Cairn as situate on the hill of "Bruff Shank", which is adopted upon the same authorities as for the Seat. Generally the object is spoken of as "Mowat's Seat", but it has been observed that both forms as given by the author of the "Land &c [Land of the Lindsays]" are used at times. The orthography of "Bruff Shank" instead of Brough, as upon the Estate Plan, has been adopted from the writer of the work referred to, as the name is much more likely to be perpetuated in his form. (See "Ledenhendrie" adopted instead of Leadenhenry for the same reason - Trace [5?]) The Cairn on "Mowat's Seat" is not above 3½ feet high, but it is remarkable from the position it occupies. The Cairn itself is in no way remarkable more than ordinary Hill [Cairn] |
