| HARVEY'S CAIRN | Harvey's Cairn Harvey's Cairn |
Mr. William Thomson, Inspector of Poor Newhills & Forester Mr. James Wilson, Dyce Quarries |
065 | A circle of stones, 37 links 9 in diameter and about 6 feet high on the top of a wooded eminence south of Dyce Quarries. It is larger than the neighbouring tumuli near to the Druidical Temple, being very similar, though not so high, as a cairn on White Hill, above Begsley. I cannot obtain the least information about this object, in fact it is quite possible that the two authorities given are the only ones in the neighbourhood who know of it, as every other person that I have consulted is quite unaware of its existence. Yet it is a remarkable object, well deserving of being shown. Property of Sir Alexander Bannerman Bart. [Baronet]. |
