Hi LesWe looked at your map & found that Lady Knowe was as you said in the way and would agree if Hermitage Castle was at sea level. When you lookat the contour lines Hermitage Castle is 500-550 ft above sea leveland the castle sits 50-60 ft above the ground. The distance between Lady Knowe and the castle is about 2000 ft and the drop is about 1 ft for every 10 ft in distance, or 200 ft between the two points, well below the top of the castle. The 1ft in 10 ft ratio was determined by the distance 13100 ft 0r 2 1/2 miles between Tudhope and Lady Knowe divided by the drop in elevation between the two points, 1961 ft minus 725 ft equals 1236 ft. The ratio is close to 10 to 1. Perhaps Mr. Elliot was standing in the wrong place [forgive my humor].
Enjoy your comments,knowledge and time that you give to this project. Thank you.
