Then we may contrast thestudied absence of ornament of any kind over the windows with the decorations of the doorway. Near this door asingular antiquarian relic is attached to the wall— the jugs—literally the stocksof Scotland; the difference between them and the English mode of penance being, that the neck wassecured in the one country, and the legs in the other. * The peculiarity alluded to is the semi-conical stone roof over the outer angle of the bartizan. t It is situate about six miles ^vest of Dundee, and is called Easter, to distinguish it from Fowlis Wester m Perthshire.Elcho Castle, Dundee, 1—2.
