GLAMIS,
WITH THE JOINT PAEISH OF EASSIE AND NEVAY.
GLAMIS, a parish comprising 14,483 acres, is
"bounded on the sotith by Tealing, Auchterhouse, and
Newtyle, on the west by Eassie and Nevay, on the
north by Airlie, and on the east by Forfar and Kinnettles.
The village, a small one, is situated in the
Vale of Strathmore, 5 miles west from Forfar, 5 south
from Kirriemuir, 12 north-east from Coupar Angus,
and 12 north from Dundee. The principal object of
interest in this district is Glamis Castle, wliich stands
in a park near the village. It was anciently a royal
residence and the scene of the death of Malcolm II.
in 1034, and afterwards became the property of
Macbeth, after whose death it fell to the Crown. It
is an edifice of princely and antique appearance consisting
of irregular tall towers, some of which are of
remoter date than others. Near the castle stands a
i-emarkable curiosity, namely, a great number of
dials, thus disposed—on a pedestal stand the figures
of four Hons rampant, life size, each holding a dial in
their fore paws, facing the four cardinal points. From
theii" heads rise a huge mass of stone, something hke
a pine-apple in shape, with the protuberances upon
it formed into dials, making the number of these
ancient timepieces eighty-fom*. The castle, with its
historic associations, the pedestal, and Malcolm's
gravestone—a huge stone of rude design, standing
in the garden of the Manse—form the chief attraction
to tourists. The castle is now the residence of the
Eight Hon. the Earl of Strathmore, and is open to
visitors on Tuesdays. Charleston is a small village
in the parish. Fairs are held on the first Wednesday
in April, first Wednesday in May, first Wednesday
after the 26th of May, first Saturday after the 28th of
October, and first "Wednesday after the 22nd of
November.
EASSIE and NE"VAY is a joint parish seven miles
from Forfar, seven south-west from Kirriemuir, and
about three miles west from Glamis. The Scottish
