[Tragedy] of Macbeth) Scot. N.E. [Scottish North Eastern] Railway Company, Cornwall's Railway Guide (April 1861) 037; 038; 043; 044 [Situation] In the southern part of the Strathmore and Sidlaw districts of Forfarshire This Parish consists of a portion of the Southern side of Strathmore at the foot of the Grampians & stretches from the centre of that strath to the top of the Sidlaw Hills which bound its Southern side. It is bounded on the N. [North] by Kirriemuir; on the S.E. [South East] by Tealing; on the S.W. [South West] by Auchterhouse & Newtyle; on the W. [West] by Eassie & Nevay; on the N.W. [North West] by Airlie & on the E. [East] by Forfar, Kinnettles & Inverarity. From N. [North] to S. [South] it is about ten miles & from E. [East] to W. [West] about five miles. It is thickly planted & wooded along its centre & highly cultivated throughout except the highest portions of the Sidlaws. The meaning of the name "Glamis" is doubtful. The gaelic word "Glamkus" signifies "a great opening - a flat country". The following are the Spellings of this name at the dates affixed :- Glampnes (1178 - 1214); Glamnes (1249); Glammes, Glammis, Glames, Glamis (1264); Glaumes (1280); Glames (1304); [continued on page 2]

OS1/14/45/2 [Glamis continued] [continued from page 1] Glaumas, Glaumes (1363); Glamuyss, Glaumys, Glaumyss (1373). - See Glamis; its history & Antiquities by Andrew Jervise, Cor. Mem. S.A. Scot. [Corresponding Member of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland] Since the latter date, Glammis, Glammiss & Glamis seem to have been arbitrary with all writers either of its ecclesiastical history or in any account to be got of the civil & territorial condition of the locality in which it is situated. The principal Proprietor in the parish, The Right Hon. [Honourable] The Earl of Strathmore, whose residence, Glamis Castle, is situated about the centre of the parish, taking these conflicting modes of spelling into his consideration a few years ago, decreed that henceforth "Glamis" would be the spelling adopted & preferred in all territorial documents pertaining to his extensive possessions in the district as well as those applying to Glamis Castle. To carry this into public practice he at the same time used his influence with other local authorities for the same object. So that at this time "Glamis" is the mode adopted by all while all other forms are considered as obsolete.

OS1/14/45/11 GLAMIS CASTLE Glamis Castle Glamis Castle Glamis Castle Mr. Fairweather, Glamis Castle Mr. Anderson, Glamis Mr. Ross, Schoolmaster 037 The castle of Glamis, a venerable and majestic pile of building, is situate about one mile north of the village, on the flat grounds at the confluence of the Glamis Burn and the Dean. There is a print of it given by Slezer in Charles II.'s reign, - by which it appears to have been anciently much more extensive, being a large quadrangular mass of buildings, having two courts in front, with a tower in each, and gateway through below them; and on the northern side, was the principal tower, which now constitutes the central portion of the present castle, upwards of 100 feet in height. The building received the addition of a tower in one of its angles, for a spiral staircase from bottom to top, and of numerous small turrets on its top, with conical roofs. The wings were added, at the same time, by Patrick, Earl of Strathmore, who repaired and modernized the structure, under the direction of Inego Jones. One of the wings has been renovated within the last 60 years, and other additions made, but not in harmony with Earl Patrick's repairs. There is also a secret room in it, only known to two or at most three individuals, who are bound not to reveal it, unless to their successors in the secret. It has been frequently the object of search with the inquisitive, but the search has been in vain. There are no records of the Castle prior to the tenth century, when it is first noticed in connection with the death of Malcolm II. in 1034. Tradition says that he was murdered in this castle, and in a room which is still pointed out, in the centre of the principal tower; and that the murderers lost their way in the darkness of the night, and by the breaking of the ice, were drowned in the Loch of Forfar. Fordun's account is, however, somewhat different and more probable. He states that the King was mortally wounded in a skirmish, in the neighbourhood, by some of the adherents of Kenneth V.; accordingly, to the eastward of the Village, within a wood near Thornton, there is a large Cairn of stones surrounding an ancient obelisk, bearing similar characters with the one near to the church, and which is called King Malcolm's Grave Stone.

But this one is vulgarly called St. Orland's Stone to the present day, which may lead into error by bringing it down to a later date of Christianity. It is therefore written on the plans as shown in Column 1, to avoid this error.

[Page] 3 to 9 038 A peninsula jutting into the Loch of Forfar, near Inchgarth, which in former times was an island. It rises about 12 feet above the water, and, though now bare, pasture land, was, within the memory of people whom I have spoken to, covered with trees, shrubs, and flowers. There is reason for believing that there was a castle built on it, in the 11th. century by Malcolm of Canmore, and a Chapel in 1234, by Alexander II. There is no trace of these buildings now, but a farmhouse adjacent, called Lochside, was built about a hundred years ago from the stones taken therefrom; and this is not the only house in the erection of which the stones were used. Mr. Charles Wishart, aged 85 and Mr. James Dair, aged 81 - state that they have seen large quantities of the stones lying about on the Inch, some of which being jams of doors and windows, shewed clearly that they were part of a dwelling. At the north east end there is a portion of a ditch, evidently artificial, still remaining. It runs from the level of the ground to 6 feet in depth, and is believed to have been connected with the castle, and some even suppose that it served to detach the Inch from the mainland. It existed before these two old men. The Inch was formed in piles, but the piles cannot now be seen. A causeway ran from the point of the Inch into the Loch - It is current in the neighbourhood that it went across the loch, but Mr. White states that he has fished along it, but that it led into too deep water to form a passage across the loch, and it is well known that the loch is much lower now than it was in earlier times.

OS1/14/45/34 [Page] 34 Parish of Glamiss, Co. [County] of Forfar -- Sheet 38-7 Trace 1 -- Names collected by Thomas Lynch C/a [Civilian assistant] [Note] Extracts from "Memorials of Angus and Mearns" by Andrew Jervise. "But this latter point may now be considered pretty well established" (there being two castles at Forfar, the site of one being still well marked in the town of Forfar) "since, within a hundred and fifty years after the death of that King" (Malcolm of Canmore) "record shews that Robert de Quincy made over to Roger de Argenten what he terms "my old castle of Forfar, which our Lord King William gave to me in lieu of a toft". Jervise supposes the old castle, here alluded to , to be the one on "Queen Margarets Inch". The inch, he says, was an artificial island, composed, as is yet apparent, of large piles of oak and loose stones and layers of earth" and though now accessible from land, is said to have been reached by a drawbridge "Assuming, therefore, that the old castle of Forfar stood upon Queen Margaret's Inch, it had been there, according to Boyce and others, that King Malcolm held his first Parliament". "It is certain that a religious house was established upon it" (Queen Margaret's Inch) by Alexander II in 1234 and that, besides money and other privileges, he gave the two officiating monks pasture for six cows and a horse on his lands of Tyrbeg". (See Brev. Antiq. Reg. de Cupro [Brevis Antiquum Registrum de Cupro in Anegus - Short old Register of Coupar in Angus) The Statistical account of Forfarshire says P. [Page] 695. "On the north side of the Loch of Forfar, there is a peninsula called the Inch. It has obviously been artificially formed". --- "It is said that Margaret, Queen of Malcolm Canmore, had a residence upon it. The ruins of walls of considerable thickness were recently to be traced upon it".
