Co. [County] of Caithness -- Parish of Dunnet
[Note Killi Cairn] -- Nothing is known of this cairn, except that
it is a property boundry-mark, but I fully
believe it to be a burial Cairn. Altho; [Although] there
is little or no Gaelic now spoken in this district,
the name is evidently a corruption of
the Gaelic words - Cill a' Chairn Signifying
the Cairn grave, or Burial place of the Cairn
