John McKinnon Mr McDonald AA Carmichael Esq |
012 | This name applies to what appears to be the remains of an ancient cairn. All that is to be seen on the ground at present is a small hillock of sand and small round boulder stones. It has, to all appearances, been disfigured by the sea. It is called a fort by the natives on the island, but nothing definite is Known about it. It is situate on the island of Taransay near Corran Raah. The name signifies "Stone fort". |
| Dùn | Dùn | John McKinnon | 012 | These remains are situate on the island of Taransay near the shore and on a prominent eminence or Knoll about 30 chains N. E. [North East] from the hamlet of Paible. Portions of the wall can be distinctly traced, which is all that remains of this ancient fort. It has the appearance of having been a place of defence and would appear to have been circular in shape & 90 links in diameter. The name signifies "Fort". |
