| STONE CIRCLE AND CIST [Creagach Leac] | 265 | Near the above [Creagach Leac], and about half a mile E.N.E. [East North East] of the farmhouse of Blasthill, an irregular shaped enclosure marked out by Standing Stones, some of them 3 or 4 feet high. The entrance which is regularly indicated also by upright stones is at the E. [East] end. Near the centre of the circle is an open Cist of the usual size. I could find no markings on any of the stones. An old resident pointed out the place, but others who have long been in the neighbourhood knew nothing about it, which is surprising as the object is a conspicuous one. Dr. [Doctor] Trotter who first drew my attention to it says the place is held in peculiar veneration by the Macdonalds, who were the clan originally located in Southend. |
