Confusingly on the Priory Acres Plan (1843) Garrowflat is the name of a triangular piece of land immediately north-west of what on the OS 1 inch maps is called New Grange (SGF/1828 Old Grange, OS Pathf. The Grange Farm). However, it is clear from other records that Garroflat (q.v.) is the name of a piece of land to the west of St Andrews, and this may here be an error for Garris.
