Full Description
Sites of the town ports. Brechin had three ports, the North, or Over Port, the South Port and West Port. They had been repaired in 1709 and 1733 by 'pinning and harling', but were removed about 1760. The North Port stood in line of the gable of the house at No.96 Market Street. (NO 5965 6060). On Wood's plan of 1822 the South Port is shown at the point where High Street meets Path Wynd (Bridge Street) (NO 5986 6001), while the West Port was situated in Castle Street just to the east of Convenor Lane (NO 5943 6015). No traces are visible above ground.
