053 | A large stone situated on the south side of the public road half a mile east of Dalnacloich farm. It is also on the boundary between the properties of Ardross and Newmore. Tradition says that when the proprietor of Achnacloich detected persons thieving, they were taken to this stone and their finger ends chopped off, and thus it derived the name, which means "Stone of the Finger Ends". |

Mr McKenzie Factor Mr Roderick McLean. Clerk Mr Lachlan Wallace, Easter Achnacloich |
053 | A large Cairn of Stones about 100 yards in circumference and eight or ten feet in height situated nearly a mile east of Loch Achnacloich on Newmore property. The Statistical Account mentions "a very large one (Cairn) in the neighbourhood of Loch Achnacloich. It is surrounded by an outer circle composed of stones a few yards asunder and measuring in circumference 130 yards". Unless this be the Cairn referred to, there is none now in the district to correspond with this measurement, though the outer circle cannot be seen. |
