Excerpt from Forfarshire

The county contains many relics that point back to the dawn of civilization in these islands: its ancient forts and camps belong to a time when history was yet unwritten. Its ruined castles and strongholds are inti mately associated in song and story with the wild warfare of clannish and feudal days. Its abbeys, cathedrals, and other religious foundations are proof of its wide influence in the ecclesiastical affairs of a bygone age.
