[Situation] In the S.E. [South East] side of Forfarshire
A parish in the south end of Forfarshire, bounded on the NW. [North West] by Inverarity on the NE. [North East] by the southern section of Guthrie and by Carmyllie on the east and south-east by Panbride and Barrie and on the west and south-west by Murroes and Monifieth. Its greatest length in a straight line between two angles which terminate it on the north and south is about 7 miles, its greatest breadth in a line due east and west over the parish church is 5 miles. A small tract in the extreme south corner consists of sandy downs. The land for 2¾ miles thence northward is distinguished for fertility, has a southern exposure and presents a warm and wealthy appearance. A large elongated hill or hilly ridge called Dunie or Camustown now interposes from east to west and sections off a colder climate and an inferior soil lying to the north. This parish is in the presbytery of Dundee Synod of Angus and Mearns. There are no detached portions of Monikie Ph. [Parish] nor are there any detached portions of other parishes within that of Monikie |

Monikie Burn [note]
P.S. Mr William Dalziel of Boghall,
states that Claughton was the
name given to Monikie Burn
in former times, He is acquain-
-ted with an old rhyme that
goes somewhat as follows -
"Claughton, Cleeril and Crummie ran,
And all met in Craig Mill-dam."

[Situation] Adjoining the parish boundary
This well is situated on the Boundary between the Parishes of Monikie and Inverarity, and about a quarter of a mile to the south of the junction of the Parishes of Monikie, Inverarity and Guthrie Det. [Detached] Strictly speaking the well is in the Ph. [Parish] of Inverarity, as the Boundary only takes in the stone facing on the East side of the Well. It also obtains the name Knellock, from a Farm of that name in the Ph. [Parish] of Inverarity on the outskirts of which it is. This well is remarkable for the purity of its water, of which there is always an abundant supply. |

[Note]
The word Dod is frequently met with in Scotland as a hill name. In the
later 4th. Division this word has been invariably written "Dod", on the ordnance
plans. It may here be remarked that one "d" in the termination is sufficient
for the same reason that one g, in the word Rig (as applied to a hill
of a peculiar shape) is sufficient.

The battlements as well as many portions of the Building are fast falling to decay. The first story apartment has a vaulted ceiling of enormous thickness. The second (through which you pass in ascending the building) has the ceiling removed but it has apparently been a flat stone one. The upper apartment has undoubtedly been the Chapel, as

"The Castle of Auchinleck (or the field of stones), commonly called Affleck, is situated upon the high grounds of the parish of Monikie, and somewhat more than a mile west of the Church.
It consists of a large tower, of considerable elevation, and of excellent masonry; but from its arrangement and style, had never been intended for a place of strength. It is still entire, and is used for lumber-rooms &c. At what time, and by whom it was erected, there is apparently no record. In the reign of James I, the estate was the property of a family designed for it "of that Ilk"; and, about the year 1430, Sir John Auchinleck, Knight, at that time the proprietor, married a daughter of Sir John Boswell of Balmuto, in Fife Shire, who, after Sir John's death. married Durham of Grange of Monifieth. The year 1830 [1430], however, is too old a date for the erection of the Castle, which may probably have been built by some of the Auchinlecks before the Estate was

Affleck which though long uninhabited yet seems to

alienated from the family. The Castle was inhabited so late as the year 1760. Before, and at that time it was, along with a considerable extent of territory, the property of a family of the name of Reid which was attainted for being engaged in the rebellion of that period, when the property was forfeited and sold to various purchasers. The writer was informed by a very aged person, whose grandmother in her youth was waiting-maid to Mrs Reid, that, on espying the officers of law approaching to take possession of the Castle, they secreted plate of considerable value about their persons, and, unmolested by the officers, proceeded to Dundee. Mr Reid had escaped to France, where his lady and family succeeded in joining him. Thomas Reid of Auchinleck, presented a siver communion cup to the Kirk Session of Dundee -

in the year 1733, which gift, with a great many others of various kinds, was recorded in letters of gold on the west wall of the Session House, where it was to be seen until the destruction of the Churches in 1841. After the forfeiture of Mr Reid, the Castle, with a large part of the estates, were purchased by James Yeaman, one of the bailies of Dundee, and not long ago Mr Graham of Kincaldrum purchased them from the representatives of Mr Yeaman's descendant. The bailie probably resided in the Castle during part of the year; but, after the erection of the present Mansion house, by one of his successors, the Castle as a residence was abandoned. Part of the barony of Auchinleck was sold about the beginning of last century. The purchaser, Mr Smith, gave the name of Smithfield to the property, by which name it is still known,

His son John, second of Smithfield, married Margaret daughter of William Douglas, ancestor of the family of Douglas of Brigton and Provost of Forfar, Mr Douglas was a son of Mr Robert Douglas, bishop of Brechin, from which he was translated to the See of Dunblane in 1684. Mr and Mrs Smith's only child Catherine, married John Fyffe of Dron, banker in Edinburgh and by the death of a descendant of theirs, who was a merchant in Glagow the estate devolved upon Major David Fyffe of the Lodge, Broughty Ferry, whose lady being of the family of Brighton, is a descendant of the Bishop of Dunblane." - Forfarshire Illustrated |

[Situation] On Downie Hills
This monument which was erected in 1839, as a tribute of gratitude and respect by the Tenantry of the late Lord Panmure "who is stated to have been a most benevolent man and excellent Landlord." The design was executed by John Henderson Esqr. Edinburgh, The height of this Column is 105 feet, and commands a view of St. Andrews in Front, the old steeple of Dundee on the west, and the Abbey of Arbroath on the East, It is situated a few hundred yards to the west of the Cross of Camus and occupies the most elevated position of the Downie Hills. The name Live and Let Live, no doubt arose from the late Lord Panmure being in the habit of signing his leases with these words attatched to his name. This monument is erected upon the site of a large Tumulus which was excavated for the Purpose of laying the foundation. |

This cross formerly stood on a small tumulus "but it was removed by the present Lord Panmure about 18 or 20 Feet to the South for the purpose of ornamenting a drive from the Testimonial to Panmure House," within this Tumulus the remains of Camus the Danish General, were laid, according to tradition after the defeat of his army in the plains below at Barry, by Malcolm 2nd. in the year 1010. About the year 1620 the Tumulus was opened by order of Sir Patrick Maule of Panmure "Afterwards the first Earl" in the presence of a number of gentlemen, when a skeleton of gigantic dimensions, in good preservation was found, nothing being imperfect but the skull a part of which was wanting, owing to this circumstance , the skeleton is

[Situation] In the south end of Monikie Ph. [Parish]
The remains of this are now very slight consisting only of a portion of the foundation which can be distinctly seen, the shape of this forming two sides of a square would lead to the belief that this Castle was of the same construction as Auchinleck and Hynd Castles, although apparently larger. Three sculptured stones were dug from this place some time ago, undoubtedly the remains of the Chapel which has been within the building, two of these bear the initials, "I:H:S. (Jesus hominum salvator, Jesus saviour of man)" and a human heart pierced by three nails, the other "M.A.R. (Marie ave regina, hail Mary Queen",) The finest of these was found by Mr. Fullerton the present tenant, in the course of agricultural improvements. A door lintel in one of the cottages bears "C.I.C.P: 1688"(Countess Jean Campbell of Panmure) "D.I.A: 1625" is on another stone surmounted with a fleur-de-lis. It is stated and generally believed that
