052 | On the north side of it is a considerable sized Moss, where the inhabitants of Blairgowrie at one time had the privilege of cutting their peats. "A Roman spearhead was also found many years ago in the great Moss of Cochrage, and is now in possession of the writer Rev. [Reverend] Robert McDonald". New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] Mr. Soutar believes this to be the same moss that the following was found in. "Early in the last century, there was dug out of a Moss in the neighbourhood of Maws, the remains of a Roman Soldier in complete armour. The skeleton was found in an upright posture; and it is supposed that he had been drowned in attempting to cross the marsh, either in flight or pursuit."
