074 In the ornamental ground [of Lawton House] is a fine conical earthen mound kept in good preservation, respecting which Duncan McGregor of Lawton, says that, it is handed down by tradition, as being the place where "Macbeth" held his courts & dispensed laws. "There are several round artificial little hills, or conical mounds in the parish called Laws, particularly one at Lawton, the property of George Wright Esqr. which, as it is situated in the near neighbourhood of Macbeth's castle on Dunsinnan hill, is said to have been the place where Macbeth dispensed laws & settled differences among his subjects."
