| WARRANT LAW STONE | Warrant Law Stone | Revd [Reverend] W. Colvin Cramond W Clarke Cramond Andrew Walker Dalmeny House |
A massive rock of freestone somewhat of a Circular shape about 6ft in diameter, situated on the summit of a small knoll about 1/4 of a mile South of Dalmeny House, with 4 or 5 others of an inferior size apparently as if they had been formerly surrounding the above Stone; and by all accounts they were more numerous having been diminished by making Stone walls, and other improvements that where required on the estate; the common tradition of this locality seeming to assent that this was a place where Criminals were brought to justice, and after the final sentence of death was past they were brought from hence to the place of execution which is known to this day by the name of Gallow Laws, a hill situated about 1 mile South East of Dalmeny House, hence the Name | |
| MONS HILL | Mons Hill | Revd [Reverend] W. Colvin Cramond W Clarke Cramond Andrew Walker Dalmeny House |
A hill about 300ft above the level of the sea covered with an extensive wood and from which the finest veiw of the County can be embraced, it is situated about one mile west of Dalmeny house, some assert that this was formerly called Monks Hill, from what circumstances I cannot glean |
