Archaeology Notes

NS56SW 23 c. 50 62

Possibly on map sheet NS46SE.

The tower of Whiteford stands on the same (White) Cart as, and below Hawkhead (NS56SW 2, at NS 506 622). The lands and barony of Ralston ( (M) 2, at NS 508 638) lie to the N. The tower gives name to an ancient family of the same surname, now decayed.

(Article probably was written in early 18th century.)

W Macfarlane 1906-8.
