Mains [note]
There is a tradition that a Castle stood at the trees in the field on the East of the Mains
but according to the proprietor, who is familiar with the tradition, there never has been any foundations seen in his time - as
far back as fifty years & more. Monnipennie , in his enumeration of Castles & Towers of the County,
mentions "Wester Ogyall", which Mr. Jervoise, the author of " Memorials of Angus & Mearns" &c, in reply to a
communication on the subject, considers to have been the residence of one of the Cadets of the more
powerful Lords of the district, and that many other "Castles & Towers" noticed by Monniepennie were
similar.
