"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."
