010.03 | A large collection of stones situated a short distance east of Bucharn. There is also another similar in size, about the same distance east of Upper Shampher. "There are two stone cairns, about a mile apart on the farms of Letterbeg and Ardlair. Their form is circular, about 300 feet in circumference, and 30 in height. The stones of which they are composed are nearly round and all about the size which a strong man could carry. Similar to these, and seen from them, are cairns on Crossdarder, to the west, in the parish of Birse, and Cairnmountearn to the east, in parish of Durris, and the line may have been intended, in ancient times, for beacon fires to intimate to the inhabitants an enemy's approach and summons them to defence or retreat."
