| MILQUHANZIE HILL | Milquhanzie Hill Milquhanzie Hill Milquhanzie Hill |
Mr. William Lyall, Sub Factor Monzie Estate, Monzie James Maxtone, Esqr., Cultoquhey, by Crieff Mr. John Gorrie, Farmer, Ibert by Monzie |
095 | A small but prominent hill of an oval shape, and all thickly planted with fir except part of its north side. Its south and west sides are somewhat steep, but on the north and east it rises with a gradual slope. Probable height from its base two hundred feet. The boundary between the parishes of Monzie and Fowlis Wesyer crosses over its top. Its east side is the property of James Maxtone, Esqr., Cultoquhey, its west belongs to William Johnstone Esqr., Monzie Castle. In the New Stat [Statistical] Account this hill is called Glowero'erhim, and is known as such in the district by a number of persons. Mr. Maxtone, one of the proprietors, however, states that its correct name is Milquhanzie Hill, and that he has many old documents connected with his property to confirm the same. Ther was a farm on one occasion called Glowero'erhim, of which the hill formed part, and it is from that circumstance that the people in the locality now apply the name to the hill. |
