110 | Close to the south end of the Free Church are the remains of a Tumulus bearing this name. It was opened some years ago and very little trace of it now remains. "There was a Tumulus of great antiquity in the immediate neighbourhood of Kilninver called Dunan Buiaig after the name of a Danish princess named Buiag or yellow haired. About 30 years ago some masons in quest of materials for building, barbarously demolished it and found carefully preserved in a stone coffin an urn of great antiquity which appeared to have contained the ashes of some illustrious personage." "New Statistical Account." |
