194.13 | A remarkable hill fort, This place seems to have been altered from its original appearance by the late Mr. Hamilton of Kames, who surrounded it with a stone wall, and otherwise altered its internal appearance and fixed on it, as the place of his interment, his tomb stands in the centre of the fort, The Revd [Reverend] Mr. McBride ascribes this, (and another on the Etterick farm, near the bay of that name) to the Danes, he says they are perfectly similar to the Irish "Raths" or forts - See Chalmers page 95 upon the Irish Raths or Hillforts. |
