(NO 6718 5718) The site of the house in which the Marquis of Montrose (1612-50) was born was pulled down c.1844 and nothing now remains, the site being occupied by cottar houses. Two gateposts at NO 6716 5724 are said to be possibly associated with the house (Warden 1880-5) but they are plain and undatable.
Visited by OS (J L D) 24 June 1958.
