Island of Arran -- Ph [Parish] of Kilbride
[Notes under Rocking Stone:]
Professor W. Thomson with whom I visited this object concurred with me in
thinking its rocking property due to natural cause, the block has manifestly
become detached, rolled down the hill, and became accidentaly poised on a smooth rocky surface,
no very marvellous thing
to have happened among the
hundreds of fallen rocks

"An interesting specimen of the Rocking Stone may be seen near the
shore at South Sannox." &c.
