Statistical Account Rev Mr McDonald, Manse Mr Kemp Schoolmaster |
012 | "At the Mains of Daviot, a seat of the present laird of McIntosh, there still remains a small portion of the ruins of a fort or castle, which is said to have been built by Daviot, Earl, of Crawford in the beginning of the fifteenth century. It had a dry ditch and drawbridge which separated, and secured it from approach by the level ground on the West, and a strong wall on the other side, where the height, and natural declivity of the hill added much to its security. It was a square building, and enclosed an area of 360 yards; had four circular towers, one at every corner, and containing three stories, all slated." vide Stat. Account |
