A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.

Crombie, a burn and an old castle in Marnoch parish, Banffshire. The burn, rising near the Ordiquhill border, runs 3 miles southward to the Deveron at Marnoch manse; and the castle stands on the right side of the burn, 1½ mile N of the said manse. Supposed to be very ancient, and looking to have been a place of some strength, it now consists of three stories, but formerly was much higher; and belongs now to the Earl of Seafield.
