Scope and Content The large, flat-roofed building is the ASDA superstore. To the right of the nearby roundabout, the undeveloped, trapezoidal grass area is an "unenclosed settlement" site, "Lower Slackbuie", with records including roundhouse, ring ditch and palisaded enclosure. A possible prehistoric settlement site, "Slackbuie", underlies the street named Knocknagael in the small housing development beyond the ASDA car park. The residential streets of Laird's Avenue and Earl's Gate (developed since this image was taken) overlie a possible prehistoric industrial site. In this image, site clearance for construction appears to have started, with a sub-circular area of exposed earth visible in upper left sector of photo. The extensively wooded grounds in the top left of image enclose Leys Castle and Gardens, the castle being an 1833 Tudor Gothic mansion which was used as an auxiliary hospital in WW1. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
