NS 200 006 (centre) A watching brief was carried out in July 1996 when a gas pipeline was rerouted around the new development at William Grants & Sons distillery. The new route for the pipe went from Ladywell (NS 2040 0075) to Chapeldonan (NS 1955 0045) past the site of the ruined chapel of St Donan (NS10SE 1). As there have been several recent discoveries of Mesolithic flint scatters in the area, there was concern that prehistoric settlement sites would be discovered along the route of the pipe. No archaeological deposits were uncovered and only two flints were found along the 1.5km route.
