Reverend Mr John Stevenson of Blackford Parish published an account of the area at the end of the 18th century, stating that “ While the country is so noxious to plants, it cannot be favourable to the bodies of animals and many diseases are suffered by the people including scurvy, pulmonary complaints and rheums. The main crops grown include barley and gray oats along with good quality potatoes and turnips and very good quality flax being in abundance. "
