Mr. Eward M. H. Eachran, once Rector of Kyrigan, and Mr. Andrew, his son, Rector of Kilcoman, who erected this stone". Macintoshes History of Kintyre. Gordon in his "Itmerarium Septentrionlae" mentions that it is a Danish Obelisk; but Mr. Pennant who visited this stone in 1770 & who was the first to decipher the Inscription, gives it as his opinion that it camefrom Iona. It is certainly a great monument to the town and is as old as the 12 Century" New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] |
