[DETACHED]) and on the West by Dunnichen. has a small detached portion which is bounded on the North and East by Kinnel and on the South and West by Guthrie Parishes.

[continued from page 1]
East and having an average breadth from North to South of ¼ mile contains 421.178 acres - making a total area for the whole Parish of 5017.477. acres. The surface of the main body of the Parish lies at about 300 feet above Sea level but is not in itself hilly except at the west end where it has more of an undulating than upland aspect. Most of the Area is what is termed a beachy soil and for the most part cultivated and well drained - the entire district being sheltered by an interspersion of wood. Lunan and Vinny waters are the principal streams in the Ph. (Parish) which receive during their course one or two tributary rills. No minerals are wrought, manufactures in connextion with Dundee and in course linen engage the largest part of the population. A Turnpike Road runs from South to North towards Arbroath, and three lines of Railway, Arbroath and Forfar Railway, Scottish North-Eastern Railway and a branch therefrom to Friockheim now disused, - along with the Turnpike - also traverse the N. En. [North Eastern] district. Friockheim in the north-eastern district a village consisting of several Streets and forming a Quoad Sacra Parish is the most important place within this parish containing as it does a Quoad Sacra, Congregational and Free Churches, Subscription Schools, Corn and Lint Mills &c. and having a population of about 900. There are a Parish Church and School situate near the Central district. Population at the last census 1763, principally employed in Weaving.
A Standing Stone situate in North-Western district - a short distance west of Guthrie Junction Railway Station - is thus noticed by the
Gazetteer of Scotland "On a plain between the Vinny and Lunan stands an obelisk with nearly effaced sculpturing of horses and other objects, supposed to have been erected upon the defeat of Danes by Malcolm II". Whether merely commemorative or the actual site of the contest is not sufficiently clear. Two mounds evidently of artificial construction termed "Laws" generally supposed to have been originally used as places of Convention and laterly for executions and recognised as Motes or Moats exist respectively in Wn. [Western] & En. [Eastern] districts. What now remainsof a Tumulus wherein Kistvaens were found has been shewn in the En. [Eastern] district. "The Castle of Gardyne" - remarks the Gazetteer of Scotland - "built in 1568. with a capacious modern addition occupies a romantic situation on the brink of a precipice overlooking the richly wooded Course of the "limpid and purling tributary of the Vinny, half a mile above their confluence". The Parish was anciently divided into two Baronies called Idvies and Gardyne - the foundations of the Baronial Chapel of the former having been removed within the recollection of parties in the district, - the Site of this Structure has been accordingly shewn.

[Situation] At the N.En. [North Eastern] point of Parish.
A village in the N.E. [North East] corner of the Parish, & is in itself a Quoad Sacra Parish. It stands nearly in the centre of the maritime division of the county; it is 6½ miles N.W. [North West] by West of Arbroath & 8½ M. [Miles] east of Forfar. It is a place of considerable importance, in the coarse Linen trade, & employs a great number of hand-loom Weavers; it rose suddenly into bulk about the year 1826, by the operatives in connection with the textile manufactures, being induced to Feu houses at a cheap rate, on the estate of Middleton; and it acquired material of importance, first by the construction of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, & since by the Scottish North Eastern, which joins the former at Guthrie, about 1½ miles east of the Village, there is also a branch going off at Friockheim Station but is not now used. The village contains 2 main streets, besides several smaller ones; the houses which are mostly all one storey in height, are built on a regular plan, & have very clean and [continued page 20] |
