016.02 | This name applies to a rocky eminence in the Pleasure Grounds of Boquhan. It is supposed to have been a similar work to the Keir Hills which occur so frequently in this Parish. It is evidently partly of artificial formation, the top being flat and a bank of earth round it but on the north side it is naturally of a rocky formation. There is no tradition connected with it. |
