Address of Informant............................... Excerpt from: JOURNEY DOWN THE AGES THROUGH THE PARISH DANGER POINT For some time now (at the time of writing), there have been temporary traffic lights on the B961 road near the Monikie School.  The trouble, it appears, is that the banks of the Monikie Burn are in danger.  Meanwhile for safety?s sake, we have signals at what we call today ?The Point?, where the Clarks live.  Long ago, it was called Danger Point.  I wonder why.  In 1841, the name occurs when Alex Sturrock, a labourer, Clementine, his wife and their two children lived there.  I suggest that it was called so because of the danger of flooding.
