The Battle Cairn was built in 1985 to commemorate the 1300 anniversary of the battle of Dunnichen or Nechtansmere.
Fine views of the site and the hill may be had on the public right of way to Letham, to the south of the church, by the memorial cairn to Scott Kidd.
A replica of the Dunnichen stone stands nearby, the original now located in the Meffan, Forfar. It was found on the nearby farm of West Mains of Dunnichen in 1805.
Dunnichen Church was dedicated to St Causnan, in whose honour a well was named to the rear of the church. It was renamed Camperdown Well. St Causnan’s blaw is a blast of snow usually received on 11 March, St Causnan’s day.
All year.
