[Situation] In the north end of the county of Linlithgow
A parish in the county of Linlithgow bounded by the Firth of Forth on the north by Abercorn parish on the east, Linlithgow on the south and Borrowstouness on the west. It is about 2½ miles in length and 1½ in breadth. There are four villages in the parish, viz. Grangepans, Carridden, Brigness or Bridgeness, and Blackness. The two last of which have tolerable harbours. There is plenty of excellent freestone and the whole parish lies on Coal of the best quality. Colonel Gardener who was killed at the battle of Prestonpans in 1745 was a native of this parish. This parish is in the presbytery of Linlithgow and Synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. The wall of Antoninus is supposed to have its termination in this parish Several years ago when digging stones to build a park wall a number of axes pots and vases evidently of Roman workmanship were discovered at a place called Waltoun and sent to the Advocates Library in Edinburgh. There are no detached portion of Carriden connected with any other parish nor are any detached of any other parish within Carriden. |

[Situation] In the N W [North West] corner of the Ph. [Parish] of Carriden
A large village, composed of houses One, two, and three stories high; all in good repa [repair] having gardens attached. Cowdenhill, and Thirlestane are now considered as portions of Grangepans, but at one period they were three distinct villages, but have become united through building operations. There is one school, 5 grocers, 1 flesher, 4 public houses, and the Salt Works; the latter trade has greatly diminished since the duty was taken off salt there is now only 4 individuals employed at the works. The inhabitants are chiefly miners, who are employed at the su [surrounding] Iron Mines. The population is about 850. The village has a very bad supply of water, the whole of the wells being drained by the surrounding mines. There are two large reservoirs for holding saltwater, for the use of the Salt Works. It (the village) is tenanted, and feued from James John Caddell Esq. of Grange. Its etymology, is grange, from Grange House and pans from the Salt Pans on the estate of Gran [Grange] which are situated in the middle of the town. The ironstone, and coal, that is worked on this estate, are shipped at Bridgeness Pier, and forwarded to the Iron Works, etc. with which the proprietor is connected; there being no furnaces on the estate. The ironstone is chared before sent away. |

There were a great number of stone coffins found at this place about 20 years ago. There was a mound of earth covering them, and on the summit of the mound stood a stone about 2 feet above the surface, it was to that stone that this name refers. The course of the Wall of Antoninus, is traceable from its entrance into the County (at Inveravon) to this point, but farther east the course of the wall cannot be pointed out, exactly. |

[Note] -- "I am satisfied, in short that the wall terminated either at Carriden or Blackness and
with highest probability at the former its remains till very lately being pretty clearly traceable
to a small tumulus to the south-east of Grange House Called in modern phrase the "Deacon's Stone" -- New Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Linlithgowshire page 66
[Note] -- "In levelling the tumulus above Grange House already referred to in Spring 1833 Several rude stone
Coffins with bones in them were found but from the appearance of the bones there was reason to believe
that they had been deposited there at a much later date than the time of the Romans" -- ibid. [as above] page 68 |

On the spot indicated a number of Stone Coffins were found a few years ago, when some excavations were being made in Connection with some improvements - They were formed of rough unhewn flags and Chiefly Contained mere dust, although in some instances bones were discovered - There is no tradition as to any battle having taken place here, but from these Coffins having been found so near the site of the Roman Wall it is probable they may have Contained the remains of those who have fallen in some struggle near this spot, such is the supposition in the locality - They were found on the estate of Mr. Caddel of Grange. |

In sinking a shaft for a mill-wheel a few years ago at the depth of 10 or 12 feet from the surface the workmen discovered portion of An Ancient pavement, formed of Concrete Composed of Stones, sea sand Containing Shells, etc. It was quite hard and resembled the asphalt-pavement used in some of our Cities. From its being near Carriden House And not far from the line of the great Wall it has doubtless been a Roman work. Some of the given authorities were present at it's discovery - The spot where it was found is now Covered by one of the out-houses |

[Carriden Church Continued]
"The church was built in 1766 the old church having stood about half a mile distant in close proximity to the mansion house of Carriden where the Old Churchyard still remains" -- New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Linlithgowshire p. 73
The church of Carriden was bestowed by William de Vetereponte on the monks of Holyrood in the twelfth century. It was confirmed to them by successive bishops of St Andrew's and particularly by David bishop of that see 1240. When the bishoprick of Edinburgh was erected this church was transferred to it with the other hurches which belong to that monastery and was disannexed from it when that episcopate was abolished, and acquired by the family of Hamilton which now possesses it. -- Penney's History of Linlithgowshire. pages 147-8. |

[Situation] 36 chains SE by E [South East by East] of the Ph. [Parish] Church
From the several alterations that have been made from time to time in this house the exact date of its erection Cannot be ascertained. The centre part of the building appears to be the most ancient, when making some additions or alterations in that part about Six years ago the workmen found a piece of lead fastened in the wall bearing date 1604. This Captn. [Captain] Hope (the present proprietor) consider [considers it] to be the date of the original building. A second date 1682 is cut on the wall above one of the windows which is evidently the date of some additions. This house belonged to a branch of the Hamilton family The next known proprietor was a Mr. Charteris then a Captn. [Captain] Dalrymple & subsequently a Mr. Maxwell and finally the father of the present proprietor Captn. [Captain] Hope R.N. [Royal Navy] It is considered by many antiquarians to have been built on the site of a Roman fort. From its situation & from some cut stones & Roman relics said to have been found from time to time in the ground about the house it is very probable to have been the site of one of the Roman Forts or stations which appertained to the Roman Wall.

[Continued]
The house of Carriden close by the church stands upon a hight and has inclosures abo [about] it; it was a Roman Station, for Alexander Miln not long since, the owner of it shewed me a Vespasian of gold found there and when he added a jamb to the house he found a stone with the head of an eagle graven upon it which he placed in some part of the wall. There he found also some Roman pottery, it stands upon the tract of the Roman Wall. It is now a seat of the Earl of Dalhousie. -- Sibbalds Hist. [History] page 19
The mansion house of Carriden, Bonhard, and Grange are fabrics of some antiquity; the first of them with some modern additions being still occupied as the residence of the proprietor. -- New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Linlithgowshire page 68 |

A Roman Station or encampment on a small eminence, at the south side of Walton Farmhouse, (the place where the present Stackyard stands) It seems to have been of a rectangular form and has the appearance of having been surrounded by a ditch but it is so defaced and levelled at the present time, that a correct idea Cannot be formed of its works of defence There is no doubt but it was a Roman Station, but is supposed to have been of Minor importance There is no probability that the great Roman Wall from the Forth to the Clyde ever came to this station |

WALTON |
|
|
|
The locality of Waltoun however affords a sufficient ground of conviction that though evidently the site of a Roman Fort or Station it neither found the termination of the wall nor stood upon its track as instead of being situated close upon the shore of the Frith in the line of direction obviously taken by the wall from Kinneil to Grange and thereby completing the line of defence, it diverges towards the south at a considerable angle to the distance of about a mile over irregular ground and affords no advantage that could recommend it as the last Station of so elaborate a work. Besides Walton instead of being two miles as it ought to be according to Bedes account is about four miles from Abercorn and instead of being derived from the "Penneltum" of Bede or from any relation it had to the wall the name seems to trace its origin to a noted well or fountain of water that was constructed there to supply the military posted at the station and which in the memory of the present tenant of the farm went by the name of the Roman Well pronounced Scottice Wall, having been filled up above fifty years ago; and where still at a little distance from the former reservoir an unfailing supply of excellent water at all seasons is delivered from a square stone built conduit large enough to receive the body of a man. -- New Stat.

From your answer to a remark concerning "Site of St. Ninian's Chapel" near Blackness, I understand there is mention of this Chapel in the Town's records of Linlithgows. [Linlithgowshire] You will observe that there was a St Ninian's Chapel within the town of Linlithgow itself, & therefore care should be taken not to confound the one with the other
Will you have the goodness to transcribe from the Town's records the notices that refer to the chapel at Blackness or at least such extract as will relate to the identity of the site pointed out near Blackness.

BLACKNESS CASTLE (continued) |

[Continued from page 70]
The only events of any note on record have a reference to the history of Blackness Castle an ancient royal fortress which never appears to have been considered of much importance as a military station though by the act of Union it is one of the few fortified places of Scotland that are stipulated to be preserved in a state of repair. In 1548 under the regency of the Earl of Arran the castle was garrisoned by the French whom Henry II Sent over under the Command of Monsieur D'Essé to Support the pretensions which he derived from the matrimonial alliance that was contemplated between the Princess Mary and his eldest son the Dauphin. When Mary of Guise was promoted to be Regent the castle agaain came into the possession of the French but on the 14th April 1560 it was taken from them by the Sheriff of Linlithgow. In February 1571 it was manned with a garrison by Lord Claud Hamilton a zealous partizan of the Queen and it appears to have held in her interest till February 1573 when it was delivered up to the Regent the Earl of Morton along with 50,000 double ducats being the Queens dowry which had been brought from France by James Kirkaldy the preceding month and with the written documents relative thereto. During the occupancy of the Castle by the Queens troops in April 1572 and inroad was made by them upon the opposite coast when the "Spoulzeit" the towns and returned to Blackness [Continued on page 72] |

with considerable booty. On two occasions during the same period an attempt was made on the Castle by the opposite party. In the same month as year as last mentioned a Ship of war well furnished with artillery was sent from Leith to "asseige" the Castle but was driven from the station where she had cast anchor with great danger by the violence of the weather and in the year following an attack was made to carry the place by surprise which failed of success by the garrison being on the alert.
During the troublous times of Struggle between Presbytery and Episcopacy the castle appears to have been employed chiefly for the purposes of a state prison and was the place of Confinement where many who were obnoxious to Government for their Known adherence to the principles of religious and civil liberty were immured. By a decreet of the secret council of James VI. in February 1584 the celebrated Andrew Melville was adjudged to be committed to ward in the Castle of Blackness for declining their authority to decide upon the doctrine taught in a public discourse which he had delivered at St. Andrews. After the warrant of Committal had been served upon him however he made his escape to Berwick. During the same year the clergy in and near Edinburgh having been apprized that measures prejudicial to the "Kirk and its discipline" were to be resolved on at a meeting of Parliament appointed to be held in may prevailed upon [continued on page 73] |

David Lindsay minister at Leith who was most acceptable to the court to intercede with the King for the interposition of his authority till the assembly should be heard in the matter but when he was entering the gates of the palace in discharge of his Commission he was apprehended and carried to Blackness. There also the ministers of Edinburgh were condemned to a temporary Confinement in 1587 for refusing to pray for the Queen's deliverance their refusal being "not simply to pray for her but for the preservation of her life as if she had been innocent of the crimes laid to her charge." In 1594 the Earl of Angus one of the excommunicated Lords was required to deliver himself up to custody in Blackness Castle till he should undergo a trial but he refusing was subsequently with the others found guilty of high treason. From August 1605 till the close of the following year John Welsh minister of Ayr who had married John Knox's daughter Elizabeth along with five other clergymen were confined in the Castle for refusing to Condemn the Assembly that had such a short time before at Aberdeen when they were "banished the King's dominions upon pain of death." About the same time a state prisoner of a different description Gilbert Brown Abbot of New Abbey "a trafficking and seducing Papist" who had been apprehended by Lord Cranston was lodged for a few days within its walls until [Continued on page 74] |
