by Stracathro and Lethuot, on the south by Brechin and Careston,
on the west by Fearu, and on the east by Brechin and Stracathro.
The southern part is flat, and forms the vale of the Cuick water;
to the north it is hilly and healthy. In the northern part of the
parish are the Catterthmuirs, '* with the best specimen of a hill
fort in Europe." The parish, which embraces an area of 10,218
acres, in 1871 contained 761 inhabitants,
married King Robert II. 's eldest daughter. The main part of the
building is supposed to have been erected about the early part of
1400 ; although it cannot boast of much ornament in its construc-
tion, yet it carries in its appearance an aspect of grandeur well
suited to a baronial castle. Careston pai'ish comprises 2,085 acres'
and in 1871 had a population of 209.
Feaen (or Feon) is a parish seven miles west from Brechin, its

situated between the two latter, and on the north bank of the South nearly elliptic ; on the south-west is the parish of Tannadice, on the
north the united parish of Lethnot and Navar, and on the cast Men-
muir and Careston. The surface presents rich pastoral hills, and
low grounds finely cultivated and enclosed, with extensive planta-
tions of fir and other timber. Near the Noran stands the formerly
celebrated "Vane Castle," now a ruinous skeleton; it is about
seven miles west of Brechin. Acreage of parish, 8,792; population,
