as I thought the day's work was done so the

reckoned by paces. This was a long
& tiring day and it was 8 o'clock ere
we got back to our hotel.

19th July 1910.
The morning being very bright I ran
down towards the harbour on my bicycle
& photographed the cross.
Lying on the grassy slope between the two
ranges of cottages that run N and S. [North and South] to the
NE [North East] of the harbour of Lybster and some
40 yds. [yards] S [South] of the Northmost cottages is a
block of yellow sand
stone. In form it is roughly triangular
measuring some 2'.2" by 3'. A
large basin shaped depression which
appears to be natural runs in from the
left edge and another large hole has
been worn by weather near the lower end
of the stone. Cut across the right hand
corner is an equal limbed Celtic cross.
measuring 1'.8" ac. [across] in width. The
arms expand outwards from 5 1/2 to 7"
& their extreme length is 8 3/4". Set
within this cross is another with
arms 6 3/4" in length & 1 3/4" in width.
