| TUMULI | Description of Norse Grave Mounds, Contd [Continued from page 51] Randaboirg- 'This may be the Red Headland , or Red Borg, and it is only in the [neighbourhood] of Dunnet Head that the red beds of the Old Red Sandstone occur. It is also in this neighbourhood that we find the only modern name answering to Randaboirg - viz., Rattar Borg, or, as it is now called Brough of Rattar Here, or thereabout, then we must look for the burial-place of those who [fell?] in the fight of Randaboirg. Thorfinn and his men were Christians at [least in] name - and if the Kirk of Banks (a number of stone coffins were found there lately which [caused?] this reference to it) [initialled G.H] were then in existence, it wd [would] be likely that they wd [would] bury [their?] dead in or near its consecrated Ground. It is probable that these ship barrows are some of the [Graves] of those who fell in this battle - None of them have been opened as [far] as I can learn - [signed] George Hobson CA [Cviilian Assistant] |
