| Human Skeleton Found Here (Continued) | [continued from page 42] Attention has been awakened in this quarter to the fate of King Alpin from the following circumstance. A few weeks ago as some labourers were employed in digging near the site of the stone called the King's Cross mentioned above they discovered the skeleton of a human body within 6 or 8 yards from the cross. The few fragments of bones that remained were much decayed and not more than 18 inches beneath the surface of the ground. There were no traces of a coffin of any kind and the skull was attached or quite contiguous to the other remains. It is quite out of the question to suppose that these could be the remains of Alpin even admitting what is not improbable that after his decapitation and the head carried away as a trophy by the Picts the trunk might have been intered near the spot where the battle took place and where the stone cross was erected in memory of the engagement.
