Latin Charter of Royalty of Inverbervie 1595 Copy Draught of Common of Bervie 1788 Mr Alexander Carr (Baillie Bervie) Mr Robert Glegg (Baillie Bervie) |
024.04 | This name is not known by any person, but it is supposed to be the place mentioned in the Royal Charter, and called Jack's Field on copy of Draught of Common, and the authorities quoted are of this opinion. It is very probable that in ancient times when the Roman Catholic Religion was the religion of the land that a cross or rood stood here, as it is a very likely place for such an emblem being situated on the summit of a hill over which the main road from Bervie to Laurencekirk passes, and not far from the Monastery of Inverbervie from which the hill can be seen. There are the remains of a large Cairn here where it is probable that the cross might be erected. The above is only supposition as I cannot obtain any information on the subject, but the age of the name, its derivation, and the situation and appearance of the ground, are all in favor of the above supposition. |
