[Reverend] Mr. Gourlay Minister	014.09	The largest "Tower" of "Fort" in the parish was at the eastern extremity of the Village. It was situated on the highest part of the ridge upon which the Village stands, and from its being two stories high, must have commanded a very extensive View. Its defence would also be assisted by the large Pool and Morass on the South, by the river Ale, and the steep ascent on the North - of this largest Tower, the only remains about 26 years ago (51 years) consisted of a part of one side, which was of great thickness & strength, & of stones, which shewed that its form had rather been an oblong than a perfect square. it might easily have contained 100 men within its walls.
