CAIRNS [Tomcruin] HUMAN REMAINS FOUND HERE | Tumuli Tumuli Tumuli |
J. Gordon Campdalemore William Gordon V.S. [Veterinary Surgeon] Tomintoul D Cameron Mercht. [Merchant] |
035 | A number of small mounds of earth & stones near Campdalemore several of which have been opened in the course of agricultural improvements and human remains found in them, these are supposed to mark the site of an ancient Clan Battle. From the supposition that these objects wre erected over the remains of the slain in a Clan Battle, and the absence of any information regarding date or circumstances relating thereto, it is considered that "Cairns" is the most appropriate term. This remark applies also to the two groups on the opposite side of this Sheet. |
