The date of 1509 is visible on the parapet wall.

(Land of the Lindsays.) "Others think that Finella's place of residence must have been about a mile and a half South-west from the Village of Fettercairn, where the remains of a large fortified place called Greencairn, are still visible, This is a mass of ruins on the top of a round eminence of about forty or fifty feet above the level of the adjoining grounds, What its origin was or when it ceased to be inhabited is unknown. But that it must have been a place of great strength, and must have been many ages uninhabitable, is evident from the portions of vitrified materials of which it was composed still remaining and from the entire State of desolation to which it is now reduced, notwithstanding the durable nature of that mode of Building." (New Stat Act. [Statistical Account]) "About three quarters of a mile besouth of Fettercairn Maitland mistakingly supposed that there had been a beautiful Roman Fort, But he merely mistook a British Strength for a Roman post. At my request this Fort at Balbegno was accurately examined in May 1798, by James Strachan, who inspecting it with unprejudiced eyes found it to be a vitrified fort of British construction. He says, it is situated about seven hundred yards west of Balmain and near a mile South-west from Fettercairn, it is of an oval form, and is surrounded by two ramparts. The outer rampart is built with [continued on page 61]

OS1/19/8/61 Green Cairn continued [continued from page 60] with "dry stones without any lime, or mortar, and without the least mark of any tool, and under the foundation are found ashes of BurntWood. The space betwixt the outer, and inner, rampart measures 93 feet 9 inches. The inner wall is 30 feet thick, and has all undergone the operation of vitrification. The area within this is 140 feet long, 67 feet 6 inches broad at the East End, and 52 feet 6 inches broad at the West End. The elevation on the north side is about 40 feet, and full 60 feet on the South Side where it is all wet mossy ground, He calls it the Green Cairn at Balbegno." (Chalmer's Caledonia) "It is on the Estate of Balbegno and tradition calls it Finella's Castle, and the people believe it to have been, her residence: after the murder of King Kenneth his attendants set fire to the Building and reduced it to ashes." Old Stat. Act. [Statistical Account] Vol. [Volume] 5. Page 334 This "Cairn" is well known by the name given, The Stones mentioned above have all been taken away from the place for building, and other purposes, and the appearance of the ground would lead to the belief that part of the ground had been excavated for the foundation stones. Small vitrified portions of stone are Scattered about the place, which is now grown over with Whins &c, there is no appearance of the inner, and outer ramparts, mentioned by Chalmers, but exterior of the 'Oval' as a whole is well defined. The ground appears to have been artificially raised to the North and North East, where the natural feature is less steep than on the South Side where the base of the "Cairn" is level with the natural contour of the elevation.

(New Stat Act. [Statistical Account]) "It ought to be observed that the Cross, now preserved at the village of Fettercairn, is a memorial of late date, having been erected by the celebrated John, Earl of Middleton, and gifted by him to the town of Kincardine. He was born near that place, and latterly assumed his titles from lands which he held in the Same neighbourhood, and the Cross bears his own arms and initials, with the Scottish lion, and the date of 1670."

OS1/19/8/99A [Page] 99a [LH side of page] Laurencekirk 9th April 1863 Sir, On the Plan of The Burn and Arnhall which you sent me, I observe that at Chapelton there is "Burying Ground" written on the Plan; and the word "Chapelton" leads to the supposition that there had been a Chapel here. In "The Land of the Lindsay, by Jervise (Page 102)" reference is made to the "Barony of Arnhall", and the "Arms of the Southesk family", as shewn on the Sculptured stone at the Cottage of Chapelton, but no reference is made to the Burying Ground, nor any re ference to a chapel. I have also [continued on page 99b] Lt Col [Lieutenant Colonel] McInroy &c &c [RH side of page (in a different hand):] The burying ground referred to existed on a site a few yards S. [South] East of the only Cottage now at "Chapelton": but had been brought under cultivation a very long time ago - It is known that there was a "Chapel" there and it may be concluded that the site was close to the burying ground - I know nothing of the subject further than the county traditions as to the existence of a "Chapel" in remote times, but the "sculptured remains" on the cottage are evidently taken from a tombstone, and "bones" on the site of the burying ground were occasionally turned up some thirty years ago.-
OS1/19/8/99B [Page] 99b [LH side of page] [continued from p. 99a] examined the "Memoirs of Angus and Mearns". Robertson's Survey". and the "Statistical account", but Can not find any reference to the "Burying Ground", or a Chapel. As it is essential that the Sites of all antiquities should appear on the Ordnance Plans, will you be pleased to inform me if you can give any information on the above, or if you have any documents relating to it? -- I have obtained from the people in the neighbourhood the name of "Nether Mains of Arnhall", for the Cottages near Chapelton, will you be pleased to inform me [RH side of page (in different hand):] I have no documents whatever on the subject, for my "Charters" as far back as 1631, speak of the "toun and lands of Chapeltown" but nothing of a "Chapel". I think this is a correct name [Robert] McInroy The Burn Brechin April 10th 1863
