"In the former Statistical account of this parish, the name Garvock is said to be 'originally Gaelic, and to Signify the rugged hill' - consequently derived from the two Gaelic words Gairabh and Cnoc. But as the hill of Garvock is by no means particularly rugged, it is much more probable that Garvock is derived from the two Gaelic words Gairabh and [pouc], Signifying the rough marsh or meadow, a name which is still very descriptive of the uncultivated part of the parish, and must have been originally highly applicable to the whole.
The extreme length of the parish from N.E. [North East] to S.W. [South West] is fully seven miles, and its extreme breadth from N.W. [North West] to S.E. [South East] is about four miles. Its boundary line is very irregular, so that its contents do not much exceed 13 Square Miles. It is bounded on the N.E. [North East] by the parish of Arbuthnott, on the S.E. [South East] by the parishes of Benholme and St Cyrus, on the S.W. [South West] by the parish of Marykirk, and on N.W. [North West] by the parish of Laurencekirk.
A Considerable portion of this parish Consists of a large hollow plain, Containing about 3500 imperial acres

"About ½ mile further on there is another of the Same Kind on the farm of Arthurhouse, but much larger and which in its day had been equal in magnifinance to the Cairn of Johnstone. Some years ago about ¾ of it was removed and Converted into metal for the roads. It was then found that similar to the Cairn of Johnston it was Surrounded by a ring of large stones Set Close together on edge from two to three feet high, but which were quite Covered by the stones of the Cairn falling down and over them so that the Cairn extended about four feet beyond the ring, which was Composed Chiefly of blocks of granite. On one Side there was found a Stone Coffin Composed of freestone Slabs within the ring, but quite Close to it on the Surface, Containing nothing but a Kind of fine impalpable earth. At one place, on the outside of the ring, were found among the Stones upwards of twenty Coins, seemingly silver but many of them so worn or Corroded that the worKmen broke Several of them between their fingers. There was one pretty well preserved of Alexander I dated 1107 and another of Robert (Bruce) I about 1320 they were all given to Dr [Doctor] Badnach the proprietor who handsomely rewarded the workman. there was likewise found a Silver broch of [Significant] workmanship in the Cairn.

"In a hollow on the East Side of this parish is Said to be the place where the Sheriff was boiled. The tradition is this, and affords a Sad Specimen of the barbarity of the time of James I., about 1420. Melville was the laird of Glenbervie, and Sheriff of the Mearns had, by a strict exercise of his authority rendered himself obnoxious to the Surrounding barons, who having teased the King by repeated complaints against him, - at last, in a fit of impatiance, the King said to Barclay laird of Mathers, who had come with another complaint "Sorrow gin that that Sheriff were Soddon and Supped in brie", - "As your Majesty pleases", Said Barclay and immediately withdrew - went and assembled his neighbours, the lairds of Lauriston, Arbuthnott, Pitarrow, and Halkerton - appointed a great hunting party in the forest of Garvock, to which they kindly invited the devoted Melville. And having privately got ready a large Kettle of boiling water in a retired place, they decoyed unsuspecting Melville to the fatal Spot, Knocked him down, Stripped him, and threw him into the boiling Kettle. And after he was boiled or Soddon for Some time, they took each a Spoonful of the Soup." New Statistical Account of Scotland, page 34.

Sheriff's Kettle. "Another of the Melvills was Sheriff of Kincardineshire in the time of James I., and of his horrible death by boiling in a caldron on the hill of Garvock Sir Walter Scott in noticing the Similar fate of Lord Soulis, Says - "The tradition regarding the death of Lord Soulis however Singular is not without its parallel in the real history of Scotland. The same extraordinary mode of cookery was actually practised (horresco referens), upon the body of a Sheriff of the Mearns. This person whose name was Melvill of Glenbervie, bore his faculties so harshly that he became detested by the barons of the County. Reiterated complaints of his conduct having been made to James I (or as others Say, to the Duke of Albany), the monarch answered in a moment of unguarded impatience 'Sorrow gin the Sheriff were soddon and supped in broo!' The complainers retired perfectly Satisfied. Shortly after, the lairds of Arbuthnott, Mathers, Lauriston and Pitarrow decoyed Melville to the top of the hill of Garvock, under pretence of a great hunting party. Upon this place, Still called the Sheriff's Pot, the barons had prepared a fire and a boiling caldron into which they plunged the unlucky Sheriff. After he was 'Soddon', as the King termed it, for a Sufficient time, the Savages, that they might literally observe the royal mandate, concluded the Scene of abomanation by actually partaking of the hell-broth. - Memorials of Angus and Mearns page 94. |

When ploughing this ground on the 10th March 1863 Mr Thomas Murray the Tenant of the ground states, that there were turned up by the Plough Several large Slabs of freestone Some partly dressed, and Some in an unhewn state, apparently having been used as Cists or Stone Coffins, no bones were found, nor any human remains. Mr Murray thinks there has been an ancient burial place here. - |

"On the East Side of the parish on the farm of Nether Tulloch the present tenant having observed near the bottom of a Sloping field, which had been long in Cultivation before his time, three hillocks forming a triangle whose sides were about 40, 50 and 60 yards, more gravelly and always yielding a more Slender

[continued from page 25]
Crop than the rest was induced a few years ago to examine the cause, and had not gone above two feet deep till he came to a Stone Coffin in each of the hillocks. Each Coffin was about four feet long two broad and two deep, containing an Urn of baked red clay Standing at the head or west end containing only a little black earth. Two of the Coffins contained nothing else, but the third besides the urn contained a complete human Skeleton with the leg thigh and arm bones all parallel to the Spine, the knees having been folded up to the breast on account of the shortness of the Coffin. Now as we all know that all the heathen nations of Europe, the Greeks, Romans and Celts burned their dead reserving their ashes in an Urn placed in the Sepulchre, but when converted to Christianity they abhorred the practice and interred the body entire, - is it not probable that this had been the Skeleton of a Christian deposited in the grave and Coffin of a heathen ancestor." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] P [Page] 38.39)
The Site marked is Supposed to be the place mentioned in Statistical account, the three hillocks have partly disappeared, but the Site marked is prominent, and the earth very loose as though it had been dug to a great depth having a different appearance to the Surrounding Soil. Mr Murray who pointed out the Site considers it to be correct.

Priest's Cairn |
Site of the Priest's Cairn Stone Coffin found here |
Mr John Murray (Haughhead) |
024.07 |
"About seven years ago, there was a Cairn on a knap or knoll in the lower part of the parish, on the farm of Upper Tulloch, from time immemorial called the Priest's Cairn, in the progress of Garvock improvements, this Cairn was converted into road metal, and a distinct Druidical Circle, consisting of twelve large stones, was found under it, and within the circle a stone Coffin, composed of Slabs of freestone, not deposited in a pit or grave, but Simply set upon the surface of the ground and covered by the Cairn. In the Coffin nothing was found but unctuous black earth, and four little white substances exactly resembling human teeth, but so soft as to write on a Slate like pencil. It is not easy now to conjecture why the circle contained a Coffin and was Covered by a cairn, for a circle of upright stones consisting of seven, twelve, or nineteen, referring to the days of the week, the months in the year, or the cycle of the moon, with all of which the Druids were acquainted (Caesar 1. 6. C. 14,) was the ordinary place of Druidical worship, as the Cairn was on more solemn occasions. The Circle or Common Druidical temple was erected in a grove, commonly of oaks. The Cairn was erected on high places." -
(New Stat Act [Statistical Account] Page 37.)
The site of the Cairn was pointed out by Mr J. Murray, a very old man, who states that he formerly resided on the Upper Tulloch, and assisted to remove the Cairn about 34 years ago, he remembered very well about the Circle and Coffin being found, and his statement agrees with the above extract. There is nothing peculiar lookiing on the ground, except that the Corn growing on the site of the Cairn has a yellow and withered appearance. B. Render

On the Summit of the Hill of Garvock there are two large Cairns, the relics of Druidism about a mile asunder. "The larger is fifty yards in diameter and must have been a magnificent structure in its day. It had been carefully Surrounded by a ring of large blocks of freestone, which are now covered by the Stones of the Cairn falling down and over them. On the larger of the two cairns above mentioned, the late J. Farquerson Esqr. of Johnston, on whose property it lies, erected a neat hollow tower of Substantial mason-work, about thirty feet high, with a winding Staircase inside to the top from which there is a most extensive and charming View. New Statistical Account of Scotland, pages 35 & 37.
All that now remains is a very large heap of loose stones at the base of the Tower.

A well known name which applies to an extensive ridge Commencing at the "Wide Open" (on Plan 24/13) and ending near the Farm house of Treehead, (Plan 24/3) This Hill is not very high, but rising abruptly from the How of the Mearns it commands a very extensive view, the Summit is undulated and interspersed with minor ridges and valleys but none of them are known by any particular names beyond those given.
"Along the top of the Hill of Garvock, where it is of some breadth, there are several alternate ridges and valleys, the parallelism of which, from one end of the hill to the other, perhaps mark the diluvial current. The direction of these, likewise, exactly corresponds with that indicated in other parts of Scotland, being from north-east to South-west." - (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] P. [Page] 27
"There is a spring near the bottom of the Hill of Garvock, on the north west side, possessed of mineral qualities, and which has of late years been taken notice of by several persons in the neighbourhood, as beneficial to those affected with Scorbutic and gravel complaints."

"On the north end of the Hill of Garvock, there is another Druidical Circle on the farm of Sootywells, about the half of which was removed some years ago, but nothing remarkable found." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] Page 38)
Every possible search and enquiry has been made for the Druidical Circle above named, but it can not be found nor Could I meet with any person who Could give any information about it. The ground is mostly under Cultivation at the place named and it is very probable that the Circle was destroyed during the progress of Cultivation.

"On the next farm Forth, about a quarter of a mile distant there was till a few years ago a Cairn about twelve yards diameter surrounded by a Fosse or Ditch even then about four feet deep giving it somewhat the appearance of a little fort, and hence, probably the name of the farm Forth, a little corrupted. When this cairn was removed by the present Tenant a stone coffin was found in it, composed of slabs of Freestone set upon the Surface of the ground and covered only by the Cairn. It contained nothing but an Urn similar to those found on the neighbouring farm and containing only a little black earth. The site of this Cairn as well as that on Upper Tulloch is now converted into corn land. It is worthy of remark that all the Coffins found here both under ground and under Cairns were placed directly east and west as are our graves at the present day." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] P. [Page] 39)
The Site of this Cairn is about 160 yards North-East from the Farm [continued on page 40] |

Farm house of Forth, the present tenant who pointed out the site states that he has resided 25 years upon the farm, and he has noticed during the whole of that period that whatever is growing on the site of the Cairn, withers, and never comes to proper maturity like the crop on any other part of the field. This would lead to the supposition that there are more coffins buried near the surface of the ground, and that the hollow caused by these structures prevents the crops from getting proper root and nourishment from the soil. The site is on a natural elevation there is nothing remarkable in its appearance the ground being under crop and all trace of the Cairn levelled.
