Marionburgh - Antiquarian Illustrations

Fred Coles

Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 41, p.152, 1907.

Fred Coles' plan of Marionburgh in 1907.
The site was exactly as shown above on our visit in 2010. Unfortunately Fred did not include an illustration
of Marionburgh in his paper which is a shame because we really enjoy his sketches. Apparently, he had
similar problems recording the site due to vegetation, as we did, as he writes "But the interior is
 an utter wilderness of weeds and luxuriant raspberry bushes, which almost completely overgrow
the fallen Stones and conceal more than half of those still standing, so that it is impossible
 to obtain an entire view of the Circle from any one point."
 

As usual, our sincere thanks to the Society for allowing use of material from its most excellent Proceedings.
