"On the barony of Coldrain or Collins Drains as it is originally stiled, there is a place called Hall Yard, adjoining the present Tennant's house, its form is an oblong square, with the corners a little rounded. It contains nearly an acre of land considerably raised above the Surface of the ground on the North, East, and South, It is surrounded with a ditch, which at present, is in most places pretty entire. Within this area stood a building, which seems to have been of some note and Strength. The country tradition is that it was a hunting place belonging to the Earls of Atholl. New Stat. Acct.
