A handsome Stone Bridge of three arches over the South Esk on the principal Statute Labor or Parish Road in Maryton and the adjoining Parishes of Dun & Brechin. Between each of the arches there is a half oval projecting buttress which forms a nook or space on the top clear of the roadway across the Bridge. There is a gradual rise on the road both on the north & the south to the "Bridge of Dun", which therefore occupies a prominent position remarkable besides for the style of its architecture. It is a County Bridge. A Station near, but in the Parish of Dun, on the Scottish North Eastern Railway takes its name from this Bridge. |

"Maryton Law is a considerable eminence founded on a rock 300 or 400 ft. [feet] high. It is evidently artificial & probably in old times was either an alarm post, as it commands an extensive view both of sea & land, or a place where the great family of Montrose administered justice to its vassals."
New Statl: Acct. [Statistical Account]
The name & the Law are well known but of its origin there is nothing to be ascertained beyond what is stated in the extract quoted above. The Revd [Reverend] Mr. Reid is inclined to believe that it was a "Gallow Hill" as conjectured in the N.S. Acct. [New Statistical Account] The mound which is between 15 & 20 feet high and of the circumference at top & bottom as shewn on the Examination Trace, is very regular, never having been disfigured or broken into. The Earl of Southesk considers it most likely to have been the place of Execution for the lordship or Barony of Old Montrose |
