035 | This name is applied to three standing stones, situate on a ridge running from the summit of Blashaval to Loch Veiragvat. The eastmost stone stands 31 inches above ground, is 18 inches broad and 12 inches thick, the center one stands 18 inches high and is 31 inches by 9 inches, the next to this or westmost stone is 27 inches high and 18 inches by 18 inches. They all appear to be deeply embed[d]ed in the ground. The tradition in connection with them is, that 4 very strong men crossed the Minch from Skye and landed at Lochmaddy with an intention to plunder they were pursued by the natives of North Uist and three of them overtaken here and killed, the fo[u]rth being the strongest and swiftest managed to get as far as the opening between the hills called Maari and Grogarry Mor where he was overtaken and killed a stone standing 6 feet above the ground marks the spot [of the fourth]. |

The second 'authority' is most likely to be "J" rather than "I" McDonald, specifically the "James" McDonald spelled out against the place name Garbh-abhuinn Ard on page OS1/18/7/140
