007.16; 008.13; 013.04; 014.01 | The greatest curiosity of its kind in this quarter and perhaps of a similar nature anywhere else is a stone dyke or wall built without lime or cement of any kind, which encloses about 500 acres of the farm of Holydean, and has stood upwards of 300 years and is still a tolerably good fence. It had, at first, been six or seven feet high with cope stones. In an old tack or lease this enclosure is called "The Great Deer Park of Haliedean". St. Acc. of Scot. [Statistical Account of Scotland] The wall above mentioned is a good fence. There is a little doubt about the extent of it on part of the south side of he Park, but it is traceable with sufficient accuracy for writing the name in the centre. It is not a deer park now. |
