A small Parish in Forfarshire bounded on the east by the German Ocean, on the west by Kinnell, on the south by Inverkeillor, and on the north by Craig and a detached portion of Maryton Parish. The Water of Lunan separates it from Inverkeillor. A Bay, the largest on the Forfarshire coast, takes its name from the Parish. The extent both north & south of Lunan Bay is beyond the limits of this Parish. There is no Church but the Established Church in Lunan and the Parish School is the only one here. The Turnpike Road from Montrose to Arbroath passes through the Parish. The antiquities of the Parish are the "Black Laws" on Arbikie, & several other small mounds, now almost all away, called"Knaps" which were formerly used it is supposed as Beacons. The Black

"Lunan is compounded of the two Gaelic words,
Lon, a lake, and Amhuinn, a river, & signifies "the
River of the Lakes". This name is peculiarly descriptive
of the River Lunan, which takes its rise in a marsh or lake
in the vicinity of Forfar, & after passing through two other
lakes in its course, falls into the German Ocean, a little
westward of the Church. The parish was anciently
termed Lonan or Lounan & sometimes Inverlunan"

Laws seem, as stated in the Accounts of the Parish, to have been raised originally from a battle fought in the vicinity of a little Loch, now drained &c., which was called Cathie Loch - Cath in the Gaelic signifies a battle. There are three proprietors in Lunan - the Earl of North Esk W. Blair Imrie Esq of Lunan & Miss Mudie of Pitmuies.
No portion of this parish is detached, nor any portion of any other parish contained within the boundary of this parish. |

"Another remarkable in the antiquities of Lunan is the number of Knaps which formerly existed in it, but which owing to the superior cultivation of the ground have now almost entirely dissapeared. Knap is a Scots-Gothic word signifying round or globe-shaped & hence the name came to be applied to a round hillock. Until of late a long line of these Knaps could be distinctly traced running along the sea to the highest point in the Parish. Besides Knap o' Castle" (which is not known now nor even the name recognised) "there is Cotton Knap, Knap of Cathill, the two Knaps of Newton, Dales Knap (vulgarly Deil's Knap) & some others. In fact every eminence seems to have had its Knap. These Knaps so universal throughout Scotland had evidently been used as beacons or Signal Posts to give notice of alarm on the approach of an enemy. For this purpose large fires were lighted up & a line of Knaps in the direction of the enemy were seen to blaze. That this was the use to which they were applied tradition amply testifies, and is farther proved by the large quantity of ashes which are found when any of them are demolished. It is difficult however to account for the Knaps in this Parish being so near each other. Almost every farm had its Knap. Arbikie lies on the s-west [south west] extremity of this Parish. The name seems to be derived from Ardbiccon, the high little summit. A little to the west of this, accordingly, there is a small conical artificial mount with which is connected a dorsum or ridge about seven yards in breadth, which can be traced to the distance of 120 yards. A range of little tumuli succeed at equal distances. These are in the same line with the ridge or dorsum and extend about 800 yards. A little behind, and exactly opposite the termination of the dorsum, is another artificial cone somewhat larger than the former. The name of a small Loch called "Cathie Loch" - the Gaelic word for or signifying a battle- indicates the purpose for which these had been formed"
(This Loch is now filled in & cultivated, and the Name is not retained to any object about the place). "It appears then that a battle had been fought here & that these tumuli and ridges were the burying places of the slain - the greater mount with the tumuli containing the dead of the conquerors, and the lesser mount with the dorsum or ridge, the dead of the Conquered" New Statl.

There are some very faint traces of the artificial Knap which stood upon the little hill now called "Deils Knap", a name generally known in the Parish. Dales Knap, of which "Deils Knap" is said in the account quoted to be a vulgar corruption, would hardly be recognised in Lunan. The remains shown on the Examination Trace have not been adopted upon authority, but from the appearance of the ground. |

Another Knap upon the authority of Messrs. Rodgers and Fullarton, stands a short distance to the north west of "Deils Knap" separated by the Pte [Private] road which runs between. This Knap upon the authority of Mr Rodger is a natural rock, but always spoken of as the "Knap" at Swilston, the name of the field it is in. Upon the authority of Mr. Fullarton this formerly (in his time from 30 to 40 years ago) had an artificial mound or "Knap" upon it. Nothing to the best of his recollection was got when it was destroyed. "Knap" has been adopted to this in the ordinary character of writing as in the case of Deil's Knap which is a name, so far as understood now, applying to a small hill in an arable field. The remains shown of the former are natural. |

Nothing however has been shewn by the information given that anything like ashes or Urns &c. had been found when it was destroyed. The term or Name "Knap" has been adopted to this Knap in the usual character of writing merely as a well known object in the locality. |

The Knaps on the farm of Arbikie, known in the locality as the "Black Laws", with the dorsum or ridge in connection are almost demolished (40-4 Trace 4). Very faint traces exist of the Knap at the end of the dorsum (See quotation from N. Statl. [New Statistical] Account). The other Knap or Law is represented also as it appears at present & the ridge, which is not remembered to have been the length of 800 yards, as stated in the N.S. [New Statistical] Account, is shewn also as it appears now. These & the Knap of Graham's Hillock are the only Knaps in Lunan Parish which the best authorities referred to regard as positive remains of the numerous antiquities called "Knaps" - As stated in the Account quoted in connexion with the Knaps in the Parish, "every Farm had its Knap" and every eminence almost is so termed by the people. Care has been observed in getting information of them to note what were entitled to the term either from usage or their antiquity according to the descriptions given in the Account of the Parish quoted. One of the Knaps of Newton referred to in the N. S. [New Statistical] Account, may be identified with that in the Fause Castle field - the other is not to be seen now. The "Knap of Cothill", with Grahams Hillock; the Cotton Knap understood as the Cot-town of Cothill is, with the cot-houses, away. The "Knap O' Castle" is not known even by the name. The "Deils Knap" as a name is well known. The Tumuli and Dorsum are the "Black Laws" in Arbikie. |

Col [Colonel] James Blair of the Bengal Army, born on the 7th November 1792. He died at sea on board the ship Madagascar during a voyage to the Cape of Good Hope undertaken for the recovery of his health on the 13th August 1847. - High in the estimation of the Superintending Governor of India he had for the last 12 years of his life command of the Cavalry Division of His Highness the Nizam's Army, and this Monument was erected by his brother Officers both native and European to commemorate their admiration of his character as an officer, and their affectionate recollection of him as a friend." |

"Back Burn" which has some analogy to the term of "Back" given also to "Wilkins Hole" on the Estate Map of North Esk as "Back Wilkins Hole", is not recognised by any other authority. The term "Back" would appear to be a very local distinction on the Estate at the date of the Plan - 1758, for to the oldest authority in the Parish, it is not known eitheir to the Burn or to the well known "Wilkins Hole" in the vicinity.
