250.01 | Dun Fiann or Fingal's fort rises abruptly, in some places nearly perpendicular from the Clauchlands shore. Traces of old walls, the remains of a fortification are seen round the summit but nothing whatever is Known of its history by way of tradition amongst the people. " Dunfiunn or Fingal's Fort, situated on a round eminence of considerable elevation, near the point of Clachlands. Headrick conjectures that this was one of those vitrified forts so common in the North Highlands. No traces of vitrification now appear. The site of the wall by which it was surrounded can still be traced." New Stat [Statistical] Account. " Two miles further east, near the top of the great hill Dunfuin on the brow is a great stratum of most singular stone, of a dull black-green cast, smooth glossy surface, chattery in its composition, semitransparent, in small pieces, & of a most vitreous appearance: It sometimes breaks into forms rather singular, & like those of that species called Iceland Crystal; but cannot be reduced to that class, as it strikes fire with steel & refuses to foment with acids. Some pieces, more mature, break like glass; of which it seems an imperfect species, less pure than the Iceland agate, and like that to have been the effect of a volcano" Pennant's Tour of 1772. |
