047 | This name is applied to a very large rock, which from natural causes appeared to have become separated from the craig above it, in rolling down the precipice its course has been arrested by two other large rocks, on the top of which it became fixed, forming a cave capable of containing several persons, this cave is frequently made use of during the Summer Season by Game-Keepers Tourists & as a habitation for an occasional night. "At the west end of the lake is the famous Clach-dian or Shelter Stone. This Stone is an immense block of granite, which seems to have fallen from a projecting rock above it, rising to the height of several hundred feet, and forming the broad shoulder of Benmacdui. The stone rests on two other blocks imbedded in a mass of rubbish, and thus forms a cave sufficient to contain twelve or fifteen men". New Statistical Account |
