Mr. Thomas Soutar Mr. Robert Arnot Mr. Robert Faikney |
095 | The remains of a Druidical Temple in the Park of Ferntower, it consists of one large upright stone, and four smaller ones. "It is well known that many of these circles once existed in the neighbourhood, though most of them have been removed. There is one, at least part of one, in the park in front of Ferntower House. the largest, and several of the smaller, stones of the circle are still remaining. And the spot is remarkable for more than Druidical rites. It was the scene of a deadly rencontre, which took place in the year 1413 between Patrick Graeme, who had become Earl of Strathearn, by marrying its heiress, a grand-daughter of Robert II, and Sir John Drummond of Concriag, who was then Steward of Strathearn. the Earl was slain by Sir John, and the life of the survivor was embittered ever after."
