(Centred: NO 3715 3292) Site of Pitalpin Village (NAT)
OS 6" map, Forfarshire, 2nd ed., (1926)
A few cottages on the farm of Dryburgh bore the name of Pitalpie. They are now removed, and the place where they stood is within the plantation of the Earl of Camperdown.
NSA 1845.
Pitalpie Village was situated on rising ground on the N side of the 3-mile stone on the Coupar Angus road. A solitary ash tree marks the spot. The village consisted of eight thatched cottages which were occupied till nearly 1830. About then, they were removed, but the foundations and approach road can still be traced.
A Elliott 1911.
Of the deserted village of Pitalpin, the age of the site as a settlement is not known. The name is presumably derived from the Pictish element "Pett".
F T Wainwright 1955.
No traces exist of this village. Quarries, refuse heaps, and a modern factory occupy the site.
