Brown Jewel The Brown Jewel is a sea stack on the North Sea coast of Scotland, north of the village of Muchalls in Aberdeenshire.〔(Robert Smith, ''One Foot in the Sea'': Downies and Stranathro (Muchalls) section )〕〔United Kingdom Ordnance Survey Map Landranger 45, Stonehaven and Banchory, 1:50,000 scale, 2004〕 ==History== Brown Jewel is situated somewhat to the east of the ancient Causey Mounth trackway, which route was constructed on high ground to make passable this medieval passage from coastal points south of Stonehaven to Aberdeen. This passage connected the River Dee crossing (where the present Bridge of Dee is located) via Muchalls Castle and Stonehaven to the south.〔(C. Michael Hogan, ''Causey Mounth'', Megalithic Portal, ed. A. Burnham, Nov. 3, 2007 )〕 The route was that taken by William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Marquess of Montrose when they led a Covenanter army of approximately 9000 men into a battle of the Civil War in 1639.〔Archibald Watt, ''Highways and Byways around Kincardineshire'', Stonehaven Heritage Society (1985)〕
