| Scotchman’s Quarry | Scotchman’s Quarry | T. W. Craster Esqr | On Sheet | A large quarry, in Craster Heugh | ||
| Mr Robt Grey | 27.12 | about a Century ago, a Scotch | ||||
| Mr George Smailes | man, had it taken, from | |||||
| which he Sent Stones to London | ||||||
| for paving the Streets, it has | ||||||
| retained the name ever Since. | ||||||
| The Arval | The Arvel | T. W. Craster Esqr | On Sheet | The most prominent part of | ||
| The Arvel | Revd Mr Rooke | 27.12 | "Craster Heugh" when Seen from | |||
| The Arvel | Mr G. B. Gill, Schoolmaster | the Sea. The origin of this name | ||||
| Dunstan | is unknown, but two solutions | |||||
| Arväl | Jamieson’s Scottish Dictionary | present themselves, viz. – | ||||
| that it has been a place where | ||||||
| Funeral Rites, have been celebrated | ||||||
| as I find that "Arvel-Supper" | ||||||
| means a Funeral Feast, or, as | ||||||
| there is a Small enclosure on | ||||||
| it and Arvel, being the Latin | ||||||
| for a Small field, it might | ||||||
| have derived its name from | ||||||
| the latter. I would be more | ||||||
| inclined to take this, than the | ||||||
| former. | ||||||
