Camuston
From Wikishire
Camuston was a village in Angus which disappeared at some point in the late 18th or early 19th century. No trace of it can be found today.
The village stood at NO523380 on land between Panmure House and Camustane Hill, as can be seen on maps of the time, for example in the 1794 map by Ainslie, showing Camuston about half a mile to the East of the Camus Cross[1]
Camuston can be found with earlier spelling variations, for example, 'Cambistown' as it is called in documents from 1425-6,[2]
The latter spelling suggests a Celtic etymology.[3]
