In his letter to the newspaper published on June 25, 1901, he writes: “along a good road for nineteen miles, and Arbroath is reached, which contains the extensive ruins of a Tyronensian Abbey founded by William the Lion and dedicated to Thomas Becket in 1178. The Catherine wheel window is the only entire portion of the old Abbey of Aberbrothock, all the rest having gone to ruin. The “Bell Rock” twelve miles southeast of Arbroath can be seen on a clear day. This rock took its name from a bell, which was suspended on it by the Abbot of Arbroath, as a warning to mariners. The rock now has a lighthouse on it, 115 feet high.”
