Old Statistical Account
065 A large farmsteading, dwelling house two stories, offices one, all slated, and in very good repair, property of Mrs G. Cumming Skene, Glasgoforest.
"Upon the farm of Blackhill were formerly several small cairns, which have been opened and dug to the bottom. In one of them were 3 concentric circles of stones, and within the innermost of these circles, some bones still perfect, but white, as if calcined upon the surface, and black within."
Old Statistical Account
Every enquiry has been made regarding the sites of these cairns, but without success, It is suppose that there is no living person who can point them out.
