NARRATIVE
ON PRINT - Not
far from the sculptured monument of Pitmuis,
and above the village of Friockheim, the Lunan
receives the Vinney, which rises in the marsh
of Lour, and passes on its way Idvies, the
village of Letham, the church of Kirkden,
Ochterlony, and Pitmuis. The point of junction
with the Lunan is in the parish of Kirkden,
formerly called Idvies—a thanedom in
ancient times.
On the western bank on the Denton burn, a
tributary of the Vinney, stands the old Castle
of Gardyne (Mr. Alex. Lyell), overlooking
a beautifully - wooded ravine, and within
a short distance of Friockheim is the mansion-house
of Middleton (Mr. Bruce-Gardyne).
