GL AMIS,
WITH THE JOINT PAEISH OF EASSIE AND NEVAY.
f LAMIS (formerly Glammis) is a rich andfertUe parish five miles
in length by one mile in breadth, bounded on the south by Tea-
ling, Auehterhouse and Newtyle, on the west bv Eassie and Nevav
on the north by Airdrie and Kirriemuir, and on the east by Forfar
and Kinnettles. The villaRe, a small one, is twelve miles north
from Dundee, twelve north east from Coupar Angus, five west from
Forfar, and the same distauco south from Kirriemuir ; situated in
Ihe vale of Strathmore, whiih is watered bv the river Dean, and is
one of the best enclosed, drained, and farmed districts in Scotland
The prmcipal object of interest in this district is Glamis Castle,
which stands in a park near the village. This is an'edifice of princely
and antique appearance, consisting of an irregular congregation of
tall towers, some of which are of remoter date than others. It
■was anciently a royal residence, and the scene of the death of
Malcolm II., in 1034; it afterwards became the property of Macbeth,
after whose death it fell to the crown. Robert II. gave it to John
Lycn, his favourite, who on marrying the liinr-''? sec.md daughter,
btcamo the founder of the present noble familv of .=;trathmore ; and
840
1-
the eldest son of the earl bears the title of Lord Glamis. On the
conviction and execution of the young and beautiful Lady Glamis
for witchcraft, in 1537, the castle once more became royal property,
and was a residence of James V. but it was afterwards restored to
the family. It contains a valuable collection of pictures. Near the
castle stands a remarkable curiosity, namely, a great number of
dials, thus disposed — on a pedestal stand the figures of four lions
rampant, life size, ea h holding a dial in their four paws, facing tne
cardinal points. From their heads rise a hugh mass of stone, some-
thing like a pine-apple in shape, with the protuberances upon it
formed into dials, making the number of these ancient time-pieces
eighty- four. The castle, with its historical associations; the pe-
destal, and Malcolm's gravestone— a hugh stone of rude design,
standing in the garden of the manse — form the chief attraction to
tourists in tho county of Forfar. The castle is open to visitors on Fri-
days. There is a society of Freemasons established here, who
hold their meetings in a neat building erected for the purpose,
and which is also usedfor lectures and other purposes, CaAKLia-
