Fairy Knowes Fairy Knowes Estate Map On Sheet Slight elevations, in two
Fairy Knowes Mr George Turnbull Tenant 16.8 arable fields, on the west
Fairy Knowes A. Hills Esqr. Agent Side of "Shada", these were
a great haunt of the Fairies, in
the Fairy Ages.
Brada Hill Brada Hill Estate Map On Sheet A Considerable elevation
Mr George Turnbull Tenant 16.8 South of Fairy Knowes, and
A. Hills Esqr. Agent forms forming nearly a Circle, it being
nearly surrounded with a Rocky
Cliff, & on the east side is nearly
perpendicular, where it has been
worked as a Quarry – the centre
is nearly flat.
From the Shape of this feature,
I am of opinion, that, "Brada" is a Contraction of Braid,
or "Broad Heugh"; but
they would not alter the
orthography from "Brada"
