| List of names as written | Various modes of spelling | Authorities for spelling | Situation | Description remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GOE CUINGE | Goe Cuinge | Mr Bain, Isauld Sergt [Sergeant] Ross Reay Innes McKay, Reay |
004 | A small narrow Goe or fissure in the rocks, up which the tide comes at high water. |
| LING GOE | Ling Goe | Mr Bain, Isauld Sergt [Sergeant] Ross Reay Innes McKay, Reay |
004 | This can scarcely be called a Goe - as it is only a slight indentation in the rocks. It is 15 chains west of Goe Cuingich. |
| SCARBACH GOE | Scarbach Goe | Mr Bain, Isauld Sergt [Sergeant] Ross Reay Innes McKay, Reay |
004 | A small fissure in the rocks a few chains west of the Old House of Dounreay. In a small crevice at the foot of the Cliff in the east side of the Goe there issues a tiny stream of water which falls into an artificially cut basin a foot and a half in diameter - and about 6 inches deep. This is supposed to be the holy well belonging to a Catholic Chapel which stood on the rising ground about 40 yards from the edge of the cliff. N.B. The Basin in the rock is roughly cut - and not at all like what the action of water wd [would] make it - and besides the water has not a sufficient fall or quantity to perform such work. |
