031 | In short, the battle-field and its neighbourhood is a spot fertile of busy memories, and of main conjectures. Who were the belligerents or who the conquerors in the deadly conflict, is now lost in the obscurity of the past - the Cairn and its surrounding tumuli are the only existing records of the event. That which to the eye of the beholder is now a scene of wide desolation or laborious culture, was once contested, inch by inch, by hostile armies; but whether Picts were here opposed to Danes, or whether the conflict was between races still more remote than either - whose implements of war were flint for arrow-heads, sharpened stones for battle-axes and wooden clubs for swords - is now a matter of vain inquiry.
