Abstract

The author briefly discusses the history of the castle at Forfar as well as some of the historical features of the surrounding area. He then goes on to discuss finds that were made nearby and how they might be connected to the castle including weaponry, armour and coins. There is also a discussion of the grave cists found on Rowin Hill nearby, and the possibility that they may relate to a battle between Bruce and Comyn in the 14th century.
