[Situation] About 1 1/2 mile N.W. by N. [North West by North] from Ratho.
Four large granite Stones Standing upon their ends embedded in the earth They are about 4 feet each above the earth and about 2 feet in circumference. These stones are said to be erected to commemorate a battle which was fought about the year 995. Three of those standing stones form a triangle and another stands isolated at a distance there is a tumulus at this place which tradition say contains the remains of those Killed in the battle The stones are said to be the tombstones of the chiefs who fell or monuments to Commemorate the battle There were several Stone coffins found near this place from time to time.
"We are informed by Buchanan & other historians that there was a bloody battle fought near this place on the banks of the Almond in the year 995 between Kennethus natural brother and Commander of the forces of Malcolm ll [Second] King of Scotland and Constantine the usurper of that crown wherein both the generals were Killed. About 2 miles higher up the river, on the Bathgate road is the circular mound of earth formerly mentioned. The whole intermediate space, from the human bones dug up and graves of unpolished stones discovered below the surface seems to have been the scene of many battles. This is rendered probable from the importance of the situation as the first opening after the Carse of Stirling from the north and West Highlands to the richer places of Scotland" Sinclair's Stat.

[Situation] About 1 1/2 miles NW by N [North West by North] of Ratho village.
This place is pointed in the locality as being the site of a battle which took place about the ye [year] 995 between the Army of Malcolm ll [2nd] King of Scotland, Commanded by his natural brother Kenneth and th [those] of Constantine the usurper of the crown. There are standing stones [and ?] a tumulus at this place & at a [considerable ?] distance north of this place is a large standing stone called the Catstane there were also many other indications of this conflict found from time to time in the district for about two miles along the River Almond. In this district there were found from time to time many Stone coffins and other remains of internments which would indicate a battle field - See, Also Page 11 of this Book. This battle is recorded in Buchanans History of Scotland in which it is stated that the battle took place at the mouth of the River Almond in which the two generals were Killed & the army of Constantine defeated, with gre [great] Slaughter on both sides See Buchanans History by Watkins, London 1827 Page 137.
"At Lochend near Newbridge in the County of Edinburgh Some large stones are set up where a battle was fought in the year 995 between Kenneth, the natural brother of Malcolm, Second King of Scotland and Commander of his forces, and Constantine, the usurper of the crown. About a mile & a half to the westward of Newbridge several large stone Coffins have been from time to time discovered. Farther down the course of the Almond nearly two miles on the property of Mr Ramsay of Barnton a solitary monumental stone has been erected in memory of the same battle named Catstane supposed to be a corruption of Constantine and to have been erected to the honour of Constantine one the Commanders in the same engagement who was there slain & interred - When the turnpike road by Loanhead was cut through spurs and heads of spears were found under the surface of the ground".

Four rude granite stones about 5 ft [foot] high and 2 in circumference standing upon their ends in an arable field a little east of the hamlet of Newbridge, and upon the farm of Old Liston, a battle was fought here in 995 between the forces of Malcolm (the 2nd King of Scotland) commanded by his natural brother Kenneth, and those of Constantine the usurper of the crown. the fight extended for about 2 miles down the bank of the Almond Water and a rude monemental stone, called Catstane, is said to mark the spot where Constantine was slain & interred. 3 of the standing stones above mentioned form a triangle enclosing a mound of earth which tradition says contains the remains of those killed in the fight, and the stones are presumed to either be the tombstones of the chiefs, or else monuments to commemorate the battle. the 4th stone stands by itself a little east of the others, and in the same field |
