To the Jokhen Muddins which are to be found on the East & North East Sea Board of Scotland there is no definite information Whether they mark Successive tides of a Western Emigration and consequent Colonization on the part of our early Continental neighbours, or a flocking Shore-ward of the Early inhabitants of Interior Scotland, there is nothing in the accumulations to Show. In the muddins were found abundance of cod Bones and Some spines of Skate, which show that the tribe at Castle Haven had acquired the means of prosocuting the deep Sea Fishing. |

"The Jokhen Muddins" or Shell Middins in the Vicinity of Castle Corbet are the oldest in the district and point to a very primitive race. They are composed entirely of the remains of littoral shell-fish and although they have been minutely examined, no trace of either deep Sea fish or animals of the chase are to be found. and that these were beyond the reach of the tribe is further confirmed by the want of any trace of tools except rude Knife like forms of Quartz which has been found in abundance. It further Seems that the tribe was Migratory and moved towards the North East entering the parish on the land ward Side for at Castle Haven these Muddins were found in abundance but are now nearly all cleared away when reclaiming the land. |
