37 - Whitestone Cairn
[Note] In answer to an enquiry concerning this Cairn the Examiner
Says, "This is not an ancient cairn. It is supposed to be an old Territorial Cairn
or mound which marked the boundary of a district," &c. Notwithstanding this
remarK it is evidently an ancient Cairn & constructed for some important purpose
it required considerable labour to carry such a collection of stones to the top of the hill
and even if was to marK the boundary of an estate or district it must be ancient & therefore ought to be written
as an antiquity in German Text on plan.

Ordnance Survey - East Lothian county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of East Lothian, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
