Archaeology Notes

NH92SE 63 NH 9970 2198

This stone, which stood on a low mound in the SE corner of what is now a cultivated field 350m N of Coulnakyle Cottages, has been removed. The stone recorded the level of the great flood in 1829 and its position is depicted on both the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1875, sheet XLVI; 1903, sheet XLVI), though it is annotated only on the former. The Ordnance Survey Name Book (Inverness-shire, Book 1, p. 25) notes that it bore an inscription which read ‘This stone is placed to record the height of the River Spey during the memorable flood on the third and fourth of August 1829, by William Forsythe, Manager of Woods, residing at Dell of Abernethy’.
