CARBERRY HILL		Charles Stuart Sweet Hope Mr J Wilson, gardner Carberry Tower Mair Hutchinson County Hall		A hill immediately adjoining the south west side of Falside Brae, from the top of which Queen Mary and Bothwell on the 15th of June 1567 witnessed the approach of the Confederate Barons
QUEEN MARY'S MOUNT		Charles Stuart, farmer Sweet Hope J Wilson, gardener, Carbury Tower Mair Hutchinson County Hall		A small mound or eminence on the top of Carberry Hill, on which there was a stone, where it is said Queen Mary rested while holding a conference with Kirkaldy of Grange and off which she mounted her horse. It is surrounded by a small strip of wood or plantation and close to the wall on its N. E. side. The stone has long since been removed in consequence of which a stranger would find great difficulty in finding the place unless it would be pointed out to him by some of the inhabitants of the place who knew the spot There follows a sentence which have been crossed through and is difficult to read but I think are as follows: A few perches to the west in the same planting are some old embankments said to be the place where Queen Mary's soldiers entrenched themselves
