"The most ancient of all the ruins in the Parish called Dun Mhic Raonaill or Ronaldsons' tower is situated on a point on the coast of the sound of Mull, when or by whom built is unknown It appears to have been intended as a beacon or watch tower for the purpose of giving timeous warning of any hostile invasion. Similar towers are numerous along the coast and were so situated that with corresponding signals well understood by those concerned intelligence of the approach of an enemy by sea or land might be communicated some hundred miles in a few hours. New Stat [Statistical] Account." "There is also a watch tower or beacon built upon a promontory stretching out into the sound of Mull but the time and occasion of those erections have been lost in the mist of antiquity, and tradition is totally silent upon those circumstances which alone could [render] the enquiry either amusing or useful." Old Stat [Statistical] Account." |
