grid ref Moncreiffe

[oldnick]

Entering Moncreiffe generates a grid ref that fits Moncreiffe Hill, some distance from Moncreiffe. The numerous Moncreiffe specimens have been given as grid ref either NO1319 or NO1418, but correctly it should be NO1121

[Roger Horton]

The place now mapped as Moncreiffe, a southern suburb of Perth, NO1121, appears on the OS 1st series map as a small settlement called St Magdalenes, and Moncreiffe House, NO136193, is just Moncreiffe, below Moncreiffe Hill. Perhaps C19th collectors were referring to Moncreiffe House!
