[Situation] In the south end of the Co. [County] of Forfar adjoining the Firth of Tay
A parish on the southern verge of Forfarshire, bounded on the north and NE [North East] by Monikie, on the east by Barrie, on the south by the Firth of Tay and on the west by Dundee, and Murroes. Its greatest length from the boundary opposite West Denside on the north to Broughty ferry on the south is five miles, its breadth along the coast is about 4 miles, 2½ miles into the interior is 2 miles and thence to the northern extremity tapers like the outline of a cone and its superficial area is supposed to be about 3,710 Scottish acres. Behind the links west of the mouth of the Dighty the ground forms an elongated swell or low ridge bold on the south and gently sloping on the north running westward between that stream and the firth. The rest of the parish has in general a southern exposure and is diversified by gentle swells and with the species of hills called laws The soil is in general an excellent black loam but deteriorates in quality toward the north and eventually becomes over a small tract tilly & moorish. This parish is in the presbytery of Dundee Synod of Angus and Mearns |

Kingennie Chapel [notes]
The name Kingennie appears to be from the
Gaelic Ceann gaineich i.e The Sand Head, or Hill.
The occupier of Kingennie farm Mr. Webster speaks
about the site of a Castle which he says was called Castle Gothrough
from which he traces the origin of the name Guthrie and points out the site in a
field close to the farm steading, but no other person could be found who knew
anything concerning this castle for which reason it has not been written.

James Webster, farmer
R Arklay Esqr. |
050 |
[Situation] About 18 chains NE [North East] of Kingennie farm steading
"On the top of a small knoll near Kingennie, is an interesting relic of antiquity called "St Brides Ring". It consists of a circle of stones (large blocks forming the outer rim, and smaller boulders the inner) about 60 feet in diameter. on the eastern side is an entrance several feet in with, having somewhat the appearance of regular masonry but the blocks are wholly unchisselled. It seems to have been a place of worship, but who St. Bride was is not known; only it is thought that the neighbouring parish of Panbride received its name from the same Saint" New Stat: [Statistical] Account
The outer and inner edges of the Circle are marked by dotted lines on trace. Some of the stones forming the outer rim, on the South and east sides appear to be the remains of masonry work. The large blocks and boulders forming the two rims as stated in Stat: Acct: [Statistical Account] are not visible all round the Circle, being wanting at the north side. The ring, from the appearance of the ground is clearly traceable. Mr. Webster states that a few pieces of charred wood were dug out of the Centre of the ring some years ago |

Parish of Monifieth -- Sheet 50 Plan 12 Trace 6
[Note:]
There appears to be no traditions in the country as to the origin
of this object or its use. Some persons talk of it as being a place
of sepulture but excavations recently made does not warrant this
supposition. - The stones as now seen where the circle is most complete
(which is the southern side) are laid apparently like the foundation
of an intended strong wall. Some of the stones are probably not less
than two tuns in weight. There is but one course of stones
at present laid, but it is very likely there were more courses
originally than one. There are several large stones lying around
which likely formed at sometime past a part of the wall
and some large stones are lying at a distance at the bottom of
the steep side of the knoll or hill on the eastern side of the circle
The present tenant of the farm Mr. Webster states that his father
broke up many of the largest stones by gunpowder for the purpose
of building fences &c. - The stones in the circle are not very deeply
imbedded in the soil, probably 18 inches or so.
Perhaps this object might have been originally constructed for the purposes of defence
and might have been an outpost or small fort in connection with the vitrified fort on Laws Hill |

[Situation] About 11 chains W by S. [West by South] of Kingennie farm house.
This is the site of an ancient Sepulchral Cairn which was removed several years by the present tenant of the farm & his brother. It consisted of upwards of 1000 Cart loads of stones which were all using in draining the land and building fences, &c, Underneath the Cairn was found a sort of stone Coffin rudely constructed enclosed in which was found an urn of rude workmanship of baked clay in which was a black earth or mould, among this mould were found several black beads of a very hard substance which perhaps had been worn on the neck as an ornament or as an amulet. The site was pointed out by the occupier of the land Mr. James Webster, also Robert Spalding of Drumsturdy remembers seeing the Cairn before it was entirely removed. Not far from this Cairn but in the adjoining parish another large Cairn was removed a few years ago which was known by the name of the Black Cairn. |

The site of this chapel is completely invisible, and ploughed over. It was one of the five churches which existed in the parish previous to the reformation. The place known still as the site is situated in a field at Ethiebeaton, and as tradition connects the name of Cardinal Beaton with a Castle which occupied this ground, it might, very probably, have been merely a private place of worship attached to the Cardinal's princely residence

[Note]
The foundation of this Chapel was dug many years ago
but there are some persons still living who remember seeing
this foundation. No trace of burial ground was discovered. The
name Chapel Dockie is well known in the locality and was so
long previous to the publication of the new Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] as Mr.
Arkley and others affirm; but there is no trace of any building
like a Castle nor could the writer of this discover any tradition
to point the site or probable site of such. It is stated by
many that the estate or at least part of it belonged to Cardinal
Beaton; but no one remembers any vestige or trace of castle or
mansion of note being ever seen here. |

[Chapel Dockie continued]
"The ancient parish was a free parsonage in the diocese of St Andrews and it had
before the Reformation four Chapels one at Broughty Ferry where there is still a burying
ground one on the banks of the Dighty at Balmossie-mill the foundation stones of which
were dug up near the end of last century - one on that spot in the land of Ethiebeaton which
is still called Chapel-Dokie - and one at the village of Monifieth"*. - Fullarton's Gazr. [Gazetteer] of Scotland
*Note - The Gazetteer is here in error - there were four chapels exclusive of the one at the
village of Monifieth which was always the parish church. The writer of the above article did
not notice the chapel of Kingennie. |

[Situation] About ½ mile SW [South West] of the Free Church.
A spot situated upon elevated ground on the lands of Linlathen, where tradition states, the remains of an old King named "Greg" or "Gregory" famous in ancient story, were interred about the ninth century. "The place of his residence, near Colliston, in the parish of St Vigeans is still known by the name of "Castle Gary". A large cairn, which received the name, consisting of about fifteen hundred cartloads of stones, formerly indicated the spot, and they appeared so very convenient for farming purposes, that for this object they were drawn away from time to time and converted into a more useful shape in the form of walls and houses upon the grounds of

Linlathen. When all these stones which formed the cairn were taken away, about the year 1831, Mr Erskine, the proprietor, and a friend of his, for the purpose satisfying curiosity, had the site excavated and, at the distance of about six feet from the surface they discovered an article, which, from the dimensions would appear to be rather in the form of a chest than a coffin, composed of six flags the dimensions of which are as follows
Two, top & bottom, 4ft [feet] long by 3ft [feet] wide, each
Two, for the sides, 4ft [feet] long 3¼ft [feet] deep, each
Two, for the ends 3ft [feet] wide by 3¼ft [feet] deep each

east end was found an urn lying upon its side, containing a very small, appearance of matter resembling, calcined bone which received no attention and was allowed to be scattered away by some children who were standing contiguous during the excavation. The urn itself appeared to be of a very original manufacture, composed of clay baked or hardened in the sun. It is now in the possession of Mr Erskine at Linlathen. The coffin was replaced in its position, covered in again with the earth, and nothing serves to mark the spot at present save a few fir trees planted in a circular form, Mr

Mr Erskine questions if ever it, contained the body of any individual, and that if it had the body must have been placed in a sitting form. Neither can there be any satisfactory information gleaned as to whether the matter found in the urn would lead to the opinion that the ashes of any individual ever have been inserted in either coffin or urn - the matter which was found in the latter received no attention for the few minutes it had been seen and the opinion that it resembled calcined bone is not positive, but merely a conjecture

Vitrified Fort (Remains of) [continued from page 37]
There are two large rectangular piles of stones within the fort, lately constructed
out of the rubbish which were dug up in the course of excavating for the
purpose of exploring the remains of the fort. There has been a good deal of vitrified
matter found in different parts of the fort. - Mr. Neish, the proprietor states that the
vitrified matter was not found in its original place but was built here & there into the walls
as if the fort underwent alterations or was reconstructed at some period or time after
the vitrification had taken place
Where the treasure of gold mentioned in the New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] was found cannot be now
ascertained at least the precise spot cannot be pointed out. and perhaps never was
well known to any others except those who found it. |

A low wall seems to have encircled the top of the hill which is flat 130 yards in length by 66 in breadth. The hill itself is a green Cone terminating a long ridge. At the bottom of this Cone spear heads of iron with bones of men and horses have lately been dug up. About 50 years ago two workmen came upon the foundation of a building at the bottom of the Cone and found a considerable treasure of gold Coin. They concealed their prize went to London and sold it as bullion.
New Stat: [Statistical] Account
James Neish Esqr., the proprietor, told me that in excavating the top of the hill he found human skulls, rudes stone coffins, Boars tusks, spear heads, Battle axes, and a large quantity of charred grain, he did not find any coins and never knew of any having been found. The foundations of the fort are laid bare being composed of a number of circular sunk walls. The low wall mentioned in the New Stat: [Statistical] Account, which formerly encircled the top of the hill has disappeared, but its foundation at the east of the hill is still visible, and marked on trace. |

Vitrified Fort [note]
Near the centre of the fort appears a circular area about 50 links
in diameter The rubbish of earth and stones have been lately dug out of it by
the proprietor and the floor of it laid bare. It appears to have been
roughly paved with flag stones among which appears ashes and fine
sand. The floor is about 3 feet or so below the surrounding
surface, there is an entrance on the SE [South East] side. The wall enclosing this area
appears to have been about 20 links thick built without lime or any
kind of cement and generally of large unhewn or undressed stones. What
its original use has been is not now easily ascertained. Perhaps
it was a dwelling house of the earliest age, of the same age as
those called Picts Houses if so it must have been a very large
one of the kind.

This spot consists of a rising ground or slightly elevated knoll great numbers of stone coffins and human bones have been dug up from time to time here the space in which they were found is about ½ acre. Mr. Arkley the proprietor calls it a "Roman burial ground" but he has no authority for this but mere conjecture. Some are of opinion that there was a large tumulus here at some time past and had been leveled, but this also is conjecture. That great numbers of stone coffins were found there is no doubt.
In the new Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] it is remarked that, "tumuli rude stone coffins and human bones have been found around the Gallow Hill of Ethiebeaton". Enquiry and research have been made but none of these could be found except the stone coffins described above. |

[Situation] About 10 chains West of Panmure Bleachfield
A large plane tree standing in an arable field which was formerly part of the farm of Barnhill but is now part of the lands attached to Panmure Bleachfield. Tradition points to this tree as being close to the site of an ancient chapel which stood here at and long prior to the Reformation. Mrs. Morton, an old lady residing at Broughty and whose father and grandfather occupied the farm of Barnhill states that in her younger days she often heard it said that the site of the Chapel was close to the Chapel Tree and she believes it stood close to the SE [South East] side of it. This statement is corroborated by Mr. Robert Collier farmer who is occupier of the lands of Barnhill, and Balmossie. Note as far as the writer of this could learn no one knows it by the name "Eglismonichty" except those who read the new Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] Mr. Collier knows it by this name but it would appear to be from reading the above work but he argues

Taken from the Statistical Account
"Eglismonichty, of which the etymology seems to be "ecclesia montis Dichty"*, or in plain English "Church upon water" situated on a crag above the river Dichty, nearly opposite the mill of Balmossie This chapel, long previously ruinous, was razed about eighty years ago, the mill just noticed built out of the materials, the tombstones transferred to the floors of the mill house & Kiln house, the cemetery ploughed up, the bones buried, and a circle of trees eradicated, with the exception of one venerable plane which still marks the site"
It was one of the five churches which existed in this parish previous to the reformation, and tradition states that the above tree seved to hang the bell of the Church |

[Notes]
For further description
of this object see Descriptive
Rks. [Remarks] Chapel Tree
* The name Eglismonichty although much corrupted from its original
is more likely to be either from the Gaelic, or ancient British, and
not from the Latin as is supposed by the minister who wrote
the Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of this parish. The Gaelic Eaglais manachd would
signify the Church of the monastery.
However it is in the language that was spoken in the district
that we ought to look for the etymology of the word and not in a
foreign language. - Note. As the name Eglismonichty is not
now understood it is better write the name in the form recommended
above, as together with having the proper designation "Site of Chapel"
the old name is also preserved. |

This is the site of a Fort or military post some remains of its walls or foundations are still to be seen particularly on its north side, and many of the oldest inhabitants of the locality remember seeing a large portion of the walls standing which they generally called a "Castle". The present proprietor of the ground Mr. Paton, merchant during the progress of the improvements removed a good deal of the foundation of walls which formed part of the fortification, he also found several graves and many cannon balls of stone and iron he also found a matchlock of antique workmanship. The draw well which supplied the gareson with water was lately cleared out it is about 34 feet deep and now supplies Fort House with this necessary convenience the water being conveyed in pipes laid for this purpose

[continued from page 63]
"On Fort Hill about half a mile north-west from Broughty Castle was a fort erected by the English after Arran's siege in 1548 as a flanking post of their principal garrison which it was well calculated to be on account of its commanding station. The works of this fortification were also demolished in 1550. Not more than 60 years ago according to the testimony of old residenters the wall remained in some places 12 feet high but within these 20 years the plough share has passed over the site. More lately a deep draw-well was discovered on the top of the hill and several bullets, pieces of cannon, &c. were found at the bottom. The Camp on the same ridge as Fort Hill and rather more than a quarter of a mile east from it seems either to have been an outpost of the Castle or an encampment of the besiegers. Few traces of its intrenchments now remain. In the oldest part of the sessional record it is called the Brachan (i e the whin covered Knoll) showing that its name of the camp was then new and little in use and therefore connecting that name with the siege of Broughty and not with the wars of an earlier period as some have supposed."

[Situation] On the southern side of Camp Hill
This place is pointed as the site of a Camp or Intrenchments. John Cairncross an old man whose father occupied the farm for many years and who was born and brought up there himself pointed out the site and states that he remembers when several circular or semicircular mounds and trenches were very distinct & remembers during his younger days when some antiqarian gentlemen came to visit the place that they decided that it was the place where the besiegers of the Castle & of the fort on Fort Hill must have Intrenched themselves. The spot is quit hollow even at present and naturally surrounded by a rampartlike ridge of ground so that those Intrenched could not be exposed to the fire from either the Castle or Fort Hill. The ground is all sand. A great deal of human bones and great numbers of Cannon balls were found or dug up from time to time around the place. The above statement was corroborated by George Archer and William Petrie, mason. |

[Site of Chapel continued from page 89]
"In the flourishing days of the Papacy the parish consisted of four distinct chapelries
1 Monifieth where the present church is situated. 2. Broughty where the remains
of the chapel are still visible on the boundary between this parish and that of
Dundee. Within the memory of man a considerable part of the fabric remained but the
stones having been found useful for building gradually disappeared so that little more
is now left besides the foundation. The circumjacent cemetery however is still in use"
New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Forfarshire p. [page] 541
There is some difference of opinion as to where this chapel stood some would maintain
that it stood within the walled in area of the little grave yard. But Mr. Andrew Spence who
is proprietor of the ground and houses around the grave and who has lived here very many
years pointed out the site to Sapper Jane and asserts that he dug up the foundation
of it as appears by recent correspondence with Corpl. [Corporal] Keely. There is good reason for taking
the site pointed out by Mr. Spence in preference to that shewn by others.
Note. Mr. Spence was lying sick at the time that I was in the country attending
to the remarks on the Name Sheets &c. of this parish

[Broughty Castle continued] |
|
|
[continued from page 101]
Broughty Castle situated on a point of rock projecting into the Tay near the western boundary of the parish is an ancient place of strength well adapted for commanding the river which is here only a mile broad but stretches out to a much greater width both above and below it. The ruins spread over a considerable extent but the only part of the building now remaining is a large square Keep at present used as a signal tower by the Coast guard. Boece mentions the existence of this stronghold in 1492 but the date of its erection is not known. After the victory at Musselburgh 10th. September 1547, the English garrisoned this Castle as the Key of the Tay. In a short time Regent Arran besieged it but after much loss during three months' ineffectual effort abandoned the attempt leaving James Haliburton the youthful and brave provost of Dundee to keep watch and prevent provisions being carried to the garrison. Next year the Earl of Argyle made a desperate but fruitless assault on the place. Hereafter Monsieur D'Essy who commanded the Scottish army made a third attempt at its reduction with similar ill success and it was not till the beginning of 1550 that it was stormed and carried by De Thermes Commander of the allied army of Scotch, French, and Germans. The fortification was immediately dismantled but we find that towards the end of the century the Master of Gray inhabitated the Castle as a dwelling house. After the death of Lady Gray who lived in it for a considerable period it was altogether abandoned. New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Forfarshire p. [page] 547 |

"Situated on a point of rock projecting into the Tay, is an ancient place of strength, well adapted for Commanding the river, The ruins spread over a considerable extent; but almost the only part of the building now remaining is a large square Keep, the date of its erection is not known." For a detailed acct. [account] of its history, see Statistical acct. [account] of the Ph. [Parish]
The wall which immediately surrounded or enclosed the Castle & its Court yard is partly standing but much broken and razed to the foundation in places, In general it is not more than a foot or two in height above the green mounds of rubbish on its interior side, it is built round upon the edge of the rock There is part of the wall of a circular tower at the NE [North East] corner which is standing several feet high and the remains of a similar object at the SW. [South West] corner in the same state of ruin; But the principal part of the Castle which is a square Keep the exterior walls of which are still standing nearly their original height and are about 4 or 5 feet in thickness On the west and north sides of this buildng are several marks and breaches as if it had been struck in many places by cannon balls. On the north side of the Castle is a vault covered over as a green mound used as an Ice House.

"This and several other Chapels over the Country were "Quoad Sacra" before the Session of 1843, but in consequence of certain legal decisions at that time they all revert to their former status "Chapel of Ease" and so remain till they be "Endowed". The name "Quoad Sacra" is still often loosely applied to many of these Chapels and to this one among the rest, but it is inaccurate". Mr Lamont. |

[Font Stone continued from page 112]
A few yards north of the glebe lies a huge block of stone (supposed four tons weight)
having a square excavation in the middle of it in which formerly stood a kind of
obelisk. This shaft was broken at a remote period. Afterwards it was brought down
to the church to replace the lintel of the "queer" door and by this means was mutilated
still more to bring it into shape. It is now built into the front wall of the new
church. No trace of its origin or object can be discovered. The side now exposed to view
is covered with human figures rudely carved in low relief of which the most
entire is David playing on the harp. - New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Forfarshire p. [page] 546 |
