Full Description
Site of a college which stood on the croft of the same name. It was traceable in the early part of the 19th century, but has been subsequently ploughed out. A Simpson recalls the remains of two chapels. One was probably a seminary of learning of considerable repute, as it is called a college. Some monks from the Abbey of Deer resided there. No further information.
