019 | About half a mile north from the 'Water of Wester" SKirting the shore are two small KillocKs [HillocKs] about 100 yds [yards] apart, one of a circular and the other of an oval form, both sloping gradually to the base. They were probably large sand heaps at one time. and artificially increased in Size by a collection of boulders. There is supposed to have been a building on each of them at a very early date, in fact it is said that they were Danish or Norwegian Strongholds. whose occupants were surprised by the natives and their Castles burnt to the ground, there being still discernable calcined pieces of stone. Such is the traditional account. but it is more liKely that by their general uniform shape they were those Duines' or Tullochs that were used as places of abode by the early Pictish Chiefs. They are now Known by the above names, particularly so by the "Birtle Hills". |
