The most remarkable is the "Weems Hole" on the top of the hill of Mearns, built with stone and covered above with large unpolished stones about 6ft. [feet] wide, the entry lies towards the south: and its course may be traced the length of 60 or 70 yards.

Since the middle of last century, it has been the seat of an extensive manufacture of brown linen. No other trade than that of weaving is carried on. A Weekly Market, equal to any in Forfarshire, is held on Friday; & annual fairs for Cattle are held in June, July, Octr. [October] and Decr.

[Member of Parliament] "At Invercarity there is a Gothic building of cut stone in good repair, when it was erected is uncertain; but it must have been before the 15th. century. It consists of 4 stories. The walls are about 9 ft. [feet] thick, project considerably near the top, and terminate in a parapet not more than a foot thick. To the east of the gate which fronts the south are some vestiges of a wing, demolished, it is said by the Earl of Crawford in 1445, in some family feud between the Lindsays & Ogilvies, one of whom was then proprietor of Invercarity."

"Such were the brave brothers of Ballinscho, like the Castles of their more powerful ancestors in other parts of the country, theirs too is a roofless ruin. A circular tower and other buildings stood at the northeast corner down to a late date; and the ruins of the more modern house, which was built by Fletcher (the reputed successor of of the Lindsays) stands near by. Many fine old trees surround the Lindsay Castle; and the orchard which occupies 1½ acre on the south side, is still enclosed and unploughed, and contains among many other fruit trees one of the largest Walnuts, that is perhaps to be found in the Kingdom."
