of Largs, still presenting a recumbent Stone 10 feet long (see standing stone)
which once stood upright and is beleived to have been placed
over the grave of a Chieftain; and vestiges of Cairns and
tumuli formed, as is said, over pits into which
the bodies of the Slain were thrown."

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Ayr, which is in the south west of Scotland.
