The eye is soon arrested by those singular "roads" and the enquiry as to their nature and origin spontaneously arises. The ancient belief was, that they were formed by the Fingalian monarch for the purposes of the chase a belief that the neighbourhood of ArdveriKie might have strengthened and regarded with a feeling of pride, as evidence of the grandeur and power of those celebrated sovereigns. Both Dr [Doctor] Macculloch and Sir Thomas DicK Lauder, however subjected them to Scientific investigation - the latter, especially, having during two seasons carefully examined them with the aid of a professional Surveyor; and now thedreams of Fingalian granduer and the pleasures of the royal chase "must yeild to cold material laws" Speaking generally, these "roads" as they are called, are three in number, rising one above the other at unequal distances along the sides of the lower part of the valley, and one or two detached masses in the centre of the valley have also "roads", around them at the same height with that of the lowest terrace of the glen. Now it has been found that these "roads" are on a perfect water level a circumstance which of itself is quite sufficient to prove that they could not have been made at the time referred to, without discussing other features of their construction or their want of adaptation to the purposes alleged.
