While searching for mesolithic traces in the valley of the Dighty, on a knoll steeply overlooking the river the scattered remains of a large number of human skeletons, much disturbed by ploughing, were found. The teeth of these skeletons were remarkable in that dental attrition was confined not to the molars but to the incisors and canines, and these were worn to gum level.
Elsmonechtie is by legend the site of an early Christian cell.
Crerar, R. 1962. 'Elsemorechtie, Monifieth'.
