New Statistical Account Alexander Monteath, Esqr. Thomas Soutar, Esqr. |
095 | "The Gallow-Hill, a rising ground where criminals were executed, is a little to the west of Crieff, adjacent to a street which bears the same name. A stunted tree of no great age is now growing where the fatal beam was wont to stand in the memory of a former generation. And the timber of the identical gallows itself is still in good preservation. It is now the property of a lady in Edinburgh" New Statistical Account This knoll is nearly circular in shape, steep to the south, and falling off gently towards the north, and may be about twentyfive feet in height. |
