RCAHMS Canmore: "The earliest mention of a town at Rattray was in connection with a gift of wax to St Mary's Chapel between 1214 and 1233. It was created a Royal burgh in March 1563 but by 1654 the harbour was silting up, and by 1732 there was hardly a vestige of the town remaining. In 1888 only one house remained, and was used as a cattle shed."
