Mr C Gullen Town Clerk Mr F Howden Factor Mr Readie Town Treasurer |
016 | [situation] In the town of Falkland. A barrier or entrance originally existed here called the East Port. From enquiry made it appears that some thrity years ago the gate or port was removed except the pier or buttress on the South side of the road and the reason assigned is that the thoroughfare was widened on the Palace Side. There was another arched entrance to the Palace between the West Wall and the Bruce Arms Inn which is considered to have been a barrier against the encroachments or annoyance of the inhabitants of Falkland in the days of Royalty. The latter named gateway or entrance has not any Connection with the Ports, East or West. |
