Argyllshire
[Note to An Dùnan:]
There is a doubtful legend that this mound owed its
origin to a penal enactment of one of the ancient Earls of Argyle, ordering
criminals of a certain class (probably belonging to Skipness) to convey barrows of earth on foot all the way to
this spot from Inverary, & Mr. Fraser told me the mound had a gaelic name signifying "Knoll of the Curse"
in consequence - [Initialed] T.P.W
The name we cannot,
however, identify.
