Fort
(remains of ) |
|
098 |
[Situation] In the north end of the parish.
This designation applies to certain remains found on top of one of the rocky precipices of Moncreiffe hill, which present many evidences that here, at some remote period must have existed, a [Habitation] or other fortification, probably an advanced post for the general fort of Carnac.- The top is flat for a Considerable irregular Circle, the boundary of which is marked by the evident remains of a wall rising, in Some parts, to a foot over the surface. (See last line on trace where this wall appears) there does not appear to have been a trench round this place but outside the wall the ground falls very rapidly off - the South face of the fort like carnac, is an inaccissable Rock falling almost perpendicularly off to the depth of 200 feet.- |

Ph. [Parish of Dunbarney Sheet 98 No. 14 Trace 4
The spelling Cunningharis as given above is evidently an old mode
of spelling the word, a mode of spelling used in an act of the Scotch parliament
passed about 300 years ago. The spelling of either Scotch or English
words of that period would in very few instances agree with the modern
usage. And Sergt. [Sergeant] Dudgeon explains verbally that the pronunciation of the word in this
name is Cunningars. It is therefore better adopt the spelling Cunningars and as
the word Planting is a scatticism for Plantation it is therefore better
write the name "Cunningars Plantation" as above recommended |

This name applies to certain remains of Fortifications on Moredun top. They consist of an irregular fosse which runs nearly a complete circle, leaving an open space of about 50 yards in the centre ( erroneously stated 16 yards in Stat. [Statistical] Account ) The South face of this fort presents an almost impregnable appearance being an almost perpendicular Rock or precipice about 150 feet high, on the west Side the remains of Two rings or ditches appear, but both appear to be about the Same level. About 70 yards north of these remains & a little towards the East is a rather Strange little Mound or Hill. It is now entirely covered with turf under which the mound seems to be entirely composed of Small Stones, as if it had once been a Cairn, or place of interment, or which is as likely a spot at which Signal fires etc might have been lit. There is an extensive view from this fort. to all the Surrounding remains of fortifications both in Strathearn, Carse of Gowrie, Kinnoul. Perth etc etc

On the summit of Moncrieffe or Moreden hill (i.e.
the large hill ) the distinct traces of a fortification may be seen. There is a Circular fosse about 16 yards in diameter
in its Centre Stood Carnac Fort which belonged to the
Picts whose monarchs during the eight and ninth Centuries
fixed their Capital at Abernethy about 4 or 5 miles SE [South East]
from the Bridge of Earn. On the tops of Several hills in this
vicinity as well as in other parts of Scotland fortresses
were erected in ancient times which served as Watch towers,
where persons were Stationed to give Signals of approaching
dangers. This was the case on Law a Castle a conical eminence
in the west of Strathearn where the indubitable traces of a
fort are onspicuous, it coincides with Moncrieffe Hill
in the important point of Commanding an ample range of
prospect and was there fore well fitted for the purpose now
mentioned. New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Perthshire P. [Page] 870 |

At a remote period when the church stood on the
Dunbarney property, a considerable village existed close
to the mansion of Mr.Craigie, occupying for a distance each
Side of the road conducting from it to the Bridge of Earn
and which was till Seventy years the line of Communication
between Forgandenny and the Bridge of Earn. It contained
thirty six families. For their accommodation, a ferryboat
plied on the Earn in a line with the west wall of the Old
churchyard after crossing which, the villagers travelled to
Perth by the "Hilton Knowe" the field Called the "Muckle bank"
and St. Magdalen's farm. New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Perthshire p. [page] 810 |

Parish of Dunbarney Sheet 110 No. 2 Trace 2
Reference has been already made to the Chapel of Moncreiffe as constituting an appendage
to the Church of Dunbarney. it stood about 300 yards SE [South East] from the present mansion house. The
dilapidated ruins still exist though so deeply embossomed in wood that a Stranger might
be near it without being aware of its existence from the thick foliage of the trees and evergreen
by which it is surrounded. Bones occasionally dug up and other appearances as well as the uniform
voice of tradition concur in proving that the grounds encircling it was used as a Cemetery.
The interior of it is used as a burying place by the family of Moncreiffe where the ashes of
many successive generations repose. The walls of the edifice are nearly entire though
not a vestige of the roof remains. It is 30 feet long, 18 broad and the walls 10 feet
high. It has a north aisle containing a vault underneath and a small belfry at the
east gable the bell formally belonging to which is still in the house of Moncreiffe
This ancient and venerable pile is thickly overgrown with mantling ivy and has a
Solemn aspect suitable to the Spot where the bones of so many illustrious men mouldered
to decay. Douglas states in his Baronage that at so remote an era as 1357 Duncan
Moncreiffe of that Ilk and his lady were buried here. The families of the Moncreiffe
Tippermalach and the Moncrieffes of Kinmouth were at one time interred within the Same
Chapel. The remains of an edifice which constituted the residence of the latter family
may still be seen a little to the west of Easter Moncrieffe a part only the walls have
Survived the ravages of time. |

[House] The four walls of the building are Standing almost entire & the gables are also partly Standing & thickly covered with ivy. There can be no doubt that this building is very old as it has evidently been used as a burying place by the Moncreiffe family etc for several hundred years, there are Several tombs inside some of which are of such antiquity that time has entirely obliterated the inscriptions etc under the North wall, inside, is the evident top, or arch of what was probably a burial Vault underneath. There is little doubt but this Chapel was contemperanious with Scone Abbey. |

Parish of Dunbarney -- Sheet 110 No. 2 Trace 4
Old Bridge of Earn. The old bridge over the Earn was probably built about 500
years ago. There is extant among the records belonging to the abbey of Scone an order from
King Robert the Bruce to the abbot and monks connected with it to allow the magistrates of
Perth the liberty of digging Stones out of the quarries of Kincarochie and Balcarmac for
building the bridge of Tay and the bridge of Earn. The tenor of it is as follows. " Robertus
Dei gratia Rex Scotorm religiosis Abbate et Conventui de Scona, delectus et fidelibus
Suis Salutem vos rogamus quatenus ad instantiam nostram concedere velitus licentiam capiendi
lapicidiorum de KynKarachi et Balcormac pro edificatione ecclesiae de Perth et Eryn ita quod dicta
licentia non cedat vobis in damnum aut praejudicium. Datum apud Glascuae quarta die Julli
anno regni nostri vigesimo tertio." The above was granted A. D. 1329. The bridge over the
Earn was upheld till the Reformation by the liberty of Churchmen, who supplied stones for its
repair as the had done for its original construction. It was composed of five arches
as an additional arch was reared about 80 years ago in consequence of the inroads the
water was making on the northern bank of the river. This constituted the fifth or last
arch.
When the new bridge was built a fragment of the old one was left comprehending two arches.
This delapidated ruin is beginning to be overgrown with ivy and presents a picturesque appe
ance.

[Situation] At the northern end of Bridge of Earn village
This name applies to the remains of an ancient Br. [Bridge] at the Br [Bridge] of Earn, the date of its erection is not Known but it is conjectured from mention being made of it in many old documents that it must be considerably over 500 years old. It originally had but 5 arches but owing to the encroachments of the water another or 6th arch was built by the borough of Perth It had 6 arches up to the date of its being shut up when the new Bridge was built at present there are two complete arches remaining & on the north side of the Earn is the abutment or foundation where the last arch terminated, this Br [Bridge] was for many hundred years the only one on the Earn throughout Strathearn, & it is very likely that it was contemporaneous with the old Br [Bridge] of Perth & that the stone for both was Supplied from ch [church] property of Scone Abbey. |

The following observations on the Pikeathly Water are from the pen of Dr. [Doctor] Edward one of the medical
practitioners at the Bridge of Earn.
The mineral water of Pitkeathly belongs to the class Saline as distinguished from the acidulous, Chalybeates,
and Sulphurous, Along however with the alkaline and earthy Salts which form the basis of its constillition, it
likewise Contains a notable portion of Carbonic acid and it is the presence of this acid which gives to this mi
neral when poured from one vessel to another, in a Slight degree the sparkling appearance so characteristic
of water impregnated with this gas
The following very nearly coincides with the analysis of Dr [Doctor] Murray,- the only difference being
the existence of minute portion of nitrogen gas which, however, might have been produced, during
the analysis from the decomposition of atmospheric air as the mercury used in collecting the gaseous pro-
ducts was very impure. The temperature of the Pitkeathly Spring was 49⁰ at the time the trial was
made (July) being 24⁰ under the the temperature of the air.
Carbonic acid 9.5 c. Inches -- Nitrogen 1.5 c. inches
Carbonate of lime - 5.7 grains -- Sulphate of Soda - 6.3 grains
Chloride of Calcium - 170 -- Chloride of sodium 114.5
The most delicate tests afforded no indications of either iron or hydriodic acid which by some have
been supposes to exist in the Pitkeathly mineral.

In comparing Name
Sheets of Dunbarney with
the valn [valuation] Roll, a few names
appear in the latter which
do not appear on traces or in
Names Sheets of which the
following is a list. viz.
Brewhead -- Formerly a farm, now part of Ondenard.
Carmichael House -- No' suchplace Known
Craigend bank -- No' suchplace Known
Cannonhall -- No' suchplace Known
Dunbarney Parks -- No longer applicable
East Lodge, (of Kintillo) - Probably the Lodge entrance to Kilgraston Ho. [House] this is Known as East Porter's Lodge, but as it is only a lodge entrance & on the East side of the grounds of Kilgraston I did not consider it a proper name. In like manner I do not think the name North Porters Lodge should appear, for the Same reasons, this latter name is on Trace 110 No 1. 6. sheet no. 7
Easter Dunbarney -- Eastfield of Dunbarney?
Heughfield Park - Probably Heughfield Ho. [house]
Millpots -- not Known,
Mains of Kinmonth -- Probably Wallacetown
Orcharneuk -- Not Known.
Peir House -- Probably Earnbank
Quarryhouse -- Not Known.
Ronaldstone -- (This name was explained to C/a [Civilian assistant] Carpenter a fortnight ago See description.
Sealsbank -- Not Known. probably "Sealsbridge"
Spoutwell of Dunbarney -- probably Spoutwell Cottage.
Will you have the
goodness to look to those
names, and such of them
as should have been writtin
on traces to write them and
write Descriptive RemarKs
It is possible that some
of them may be on traces but
Called by other names If
so write opposite the other name
by which the object is Known

[continued from page 78]
Had the Examiner given
the occupiers as well as the
proprietors names we could
at once identify the name
in the valn [valuation] Roll with that
in the Name Sheets.
In an account of the
antiquities of Dunbarney
in the New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] mention
is made of the site of "The
Forest of Black Earnside"
or "Black Ironside" as having
extended along the banks
of the Earn and was four
miles in length by three
in breadth and was sig-
-nalized by the adventures
of Sir William Wallace and
especially by a sanguinary
conflict which be there
maintained with the
English.
Could not the site
of this Forest be readily
ascertained and if
so this name to be written
on traces and Descriptive
Rks [Remarks] to be written.
[Right hand side of page]
I am of opinion that the statistical
account is entirely wrong regarding
Black Ironside & that it never
came within miles of this Parish
See the "Muses Threnodie" as also
"Sir James Balfour's acct [account] of Fife".
There is no person in this
Parish to whom I have spoken
of this antiquity who Knows
anything of it. I feel almost
certain, from what I have read
on the subject that it Stood
East of Newburgh in Fife.
In the above volume
it is also stated "that in
1645 shortly before the Battle
of Kilsyth the Camp of

the Covenanters was pitched
at Kilgraston in this parish"
Is there any tradition
of where this camp was fixed?
Can it be Pointed
out?
Are ther any old
mansion houses in the parish
to which the dates of there
erection could be affixed?
In the Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] it
is stated that Moncreiffe
House was erected in 1679
Is this date correct?
[Right hand side of page]
I have not been able to get
the date of Dunbarney Ho. [House] which
is evidently old.
Kilgraston Ho. [House] was built in
either 1797 or 1799.
Moncreiffe Ho. [House] 1679.
Will you have
the goodness to shew
on traces the extent of
the demesne lands at-
-tached to the mansions
or other gentlemans houses
in this parish. It is
usually done by a line with a pencil
brush of light green
colour along the boundaries
of such lands
[Right hand side of page]
Attended to.
Are there any objects in
this parish Known by the
names of "Hilton Knowe"
and the Muckle Bank"?
[Right hand side of page]
I can get no information
regarding them as no
one Seems to Know them.
Hilton is not in this Parish. |

Fort (Remains of) Can
no authority be got for
this designation?
What is the opinion
of the proprietor or
that of his game Keeper
concerning it?
There may be an
objection at Southampton
if sent without any au-
thority for the name

Br [Bridge] of Earn
31st January 1860,
If I mistake not this is already ansd [answered]
in the name leaf & the very persons mention
here were questioned regarding it. no
persons that I could find had ever seen
or heard of it. It is possible that it might
never have been noticed owing to its
secluded position.
Cunningharis Planting
The origin of this name is
stated in Descriptive RKs [Remarks] to
have been a rabbit warren
at this place. If this can
be relied on then the proper
spelling "Cunningar", Should
be used. Also as "planting"
is scotticism for plantation
The name should be
"Cunningar Plantation"
Is it not superfluous
to use the letter s as an
affix to Cunningar?

[Right hand side of page]
I consider the orthography as
Supplied correct. Cunningar is
at all events wrong. for if given in
the Singular it should be Cuningar
that is with one n - I took the
orthography from a copy of Act
of Parliament Jas [James] 1st. 1666 Chap [Chapter] 36. See
also Jamiesons Dict: [Dictionary] 1808 edition, in
this description however it should I
think be called Rabbit Warrens as the
place is spoken of in the plural similar
as "Cunningharis" Plantings, this name
as supplied, shd [should] not, I think be altered.
This is also the opinion of Sir Thomas Moncreiffe
the proprietor. I cannot see how "Planting"
is a Scotticism. Websters Dict: [Dictionary] - one of the
best authorities in the English language gives it
from the latin of "plantatis" & Signifying "the art of
forming Plantations of trees &c"
Waltree. In the New valn [valuation]
Roll this name is spelled Welltree
and as the country people generally
pronounce the word Well as Wall

a rent receipt but all the
letters to the occupier.

Kinmonthford The same
remarKs apply to this as to
Kinmonthorchard.
[right hand side of page]
Trace correct, the name applies
to a Hs., [House] not to a ford.
Also is there a ford across
this river at place and is
it called Kinmonth Ford?
If so it ought to be written
Should not Fishing Lodge,
or Station? be written also
in this case and that without
any parenthesis?
[right hand side of page]
There is no ford here, but if
there were such a thing it should
not appear on this trace as the
River is not Granted on it.
It is a matter of taste whether the
parenthesis are retained or not. the
word fishing lodges is only explanatory
& not a part of the name: Consequently
I consider the parenthesis not incorrect.
The Tomb Sheet 110 No 5 Trace 3 Will you have
the goodness to state by what family
was this buiding erected was
it by Grant the present family
of Kilgraston or by their pre-
decessors? and is it at
present the burial place
of the family of Grant or
that of Craigie?
[right hand side of page]
I think the most of this information
is already given in description.
It was built by the Grant family.
The Craigies neither have, nor
ever had anything to do with it.
Had not the Craigies, the
former proprietors of Kilgraston
a burial place here?
