A deep draw well on the farm of Monkton. The name is said to be taken from a village which formerly stood here, named Rottenrow, no vestige of which now remains. This is the celebrated "Routing Well", which is thus noted in the Statistical Account. "The case is, that this well, being dug many fathoms deep through a rock, in order to get below the strata of coal that abound in the field, it communicates through the coal seams that are wrought, with other shafts; which occassions a rumbling noise, that does not precede, but accompanies a high wind." |

An ancient baronial residence two miles south of Musselburgh. Most of the building is of modern erection, and is neatly built. At the N.W. Corner of the edifice stands the old tower or Keep, in which it is said the unfortunate Queen Mary was confined. It is ascended by means of a stone staircase which becomes very narrow as you reach the top. A niche in the wall on the top of the tower is said to have been the spot where Mary used to sit while taking an airing, during her confinement here. It is surrounded by a small demesne.

" The house of Carberry is ancient comparatively speaking and has all the marks of a baronial mansion but its date is not ascertained. That it existed long before the battle may be argued from the under storey being strongly arched and lined with oak panelling. The division now used as a kitchen has all the appearance of a keep for the lodgment of Prisoners. That it was a considerable mansion house in the 16th.. Century is certain and was the property of Mr. Hugh Rigg an advocate and distinguished public character at the time who is mentioned in Knox's History"

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 |
