The village is mentioned in the list of lands purchased by George Maule, 2nd Earl of Panmure in 1667.[2] These lands were forfeited by his heir, James Maule, 4th Earl of Panmure following the Jacobite rising of 1715.[3] The opening of the Dundee to Arbroath turnpike road (later designated the A92 road) at the beginning of the 19th century lead to some expansion along this road.
