County of Caithness -- Parish of Hallkirk
This has, very probably, been a Pict's house, altho; [although] it was
given to me as a camp. This one has been removed many
years ago, and very few of the present inhabitants, have
seen it. but from R. McLeod's description of it (who believes
it was the same at No 1) and from the fact of the human
remains being found in it, I think there can be no doubt
about it's having been a Picts house. Mr. Gunn Braehour
says he has read many accounts, and heard many
of the battle, but never heard nor saw anything
about a Camp being there, except by the present
Inhabitants of Pullyhour. [initialled] G.R.
