[Note]
There is a hill called Dick or Dickmount-law which is said in one of the Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] to signify
a rampart or [of] protection of [or] peace. It is about a mile E. [East] of the church and seems to have been very
much adapted to both the above mentioned purposes. On the top of this hill there is a large Cairn
now covered with grass and hollow in the middle where the baron held his courts. From
this there is one of the most extensive prospects in the Country.
