passes through the Western extremity of this parish.
The extent of the sea coast is about 5 miles: of which that along the bay of Lunan (which affords a safe anchorage for ships, except in a storm from the east) is flat & sandy, & overgrown with bent; but the coast on the South, is high & rocky, where there is a remarkable promontory, the Red Head (plan 41-14). This Cape is 45 fathoms in height. It is seen at a great distance from the Sea & abounds with a variety of Sea-fowls. At the Red Head there is an inexhaustible quarry of fine free-stone; & below the rocks, pebbles known by the name of Scots pebbles are numerous: among which there are some of the colour & density of an Amethyst.
There is no portion of this parish detached, nor any portion of any other parish, contained within the boundary of this parish.
