Description continued, called "Belnaseugue Mires" meaning, perhaps, "The field of shelter or protection". Both these names clearly point to events in connection with the encampment; but I cannot discover or hear of any sepulchral remains or other antiquities such as are often found on such places being found there; but on the farm of Brawland, immediately North of Knocknacailloch a great many Stone Cists were discovered sometime ago by Mr. Paterson, Farmer, there, some of these Cists were of neat Construction, and all of them contained bones, and unctuous matter; An Urn Containing copper Coins was also found here; but were so much corroded that the reigning sovereign Could not be identified. Near to this place are the remains of Druidical Temples and standing stones. There is a small possession on the Lands of Edinbanchory, which has been assigned to the Minister. [Continued p. 7] |
