016.13 | About 20 years ago when Mr. David Gibson was employed trenching a field called Loanhead, he accidentally came upon a Stone Cist. It was near the middle of the Knoll, about 4 feet below the surface, and the Stones which composed the Cist, were of the red sandstone Kind. The single stone which covered the top measured about 6 feet by 3 in size, and about 3 inches thick; the sides & ends were of lesser stones, from eighteen inches to two feet high; and the gravel formed the bottom. Remains of bones were discovered, and a clay urn was found, which contained burnt ashes, and black earth; but unfortunately it was allowed to fall to pieces by long exposure to the air. |
| Glenfarquhar Castle | Glenfarquhar Castle (Remains of) | Rev. [Reverend] Charles Buchan D.D. [Doctor of Divinity] Rev. [Reverend] John Phillips Mr. David Gibson ground officer |
