Careston
Careston is a hamlet in Angus, Scotland, that is in the parish of the same name, 5 miles west of Brechin.[1] The parish and hamlet supposedly took their name from a stone laid in commemoration of a Danish chieftain, called Caraldston. It has a castle and church, although the local primary school closed in 2004.
Careston railway station on the Forfar and Brechin Railway once served the hamlet.
