Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Craigengelt

Craigengelt, an estate in the SW of St Ninians parish, Stirlingshire, W of Loch Coulter, and 5¼ miles WNW of Denny. It includes a considerable mass of the Lennox Hills, and contains a circular cairn or mound called the Ghost's Knowe, which, 300 feet in circumference, is engirt by twelve very large stones. This is one only out of several artificial mounds, clothed with fine grass, and called the Sunny Hills; and Craigengelt is believed to have been, in olden times, the scene of many tragical events.
