Nineteen miles to E. of Auchermuchty, and only 1½ miles inland from the coast, a camp has been identified on the farm of Bonnytown (NO 546126), 3½ miles SE. of St. Andrews. The whole of the NE. side 950 ft. in length, at least 1,025 ft. of the SE. side, and the rounded E. and N. angles are known so far." (St. Joseph, 1965)
