It is traditionally recorded in the district, that near these rocks, three Kings met, viz. A Scotch, a Danish and a Norwegian King, in order to settle a feud by personal combat. That the Danish and Scottish Kings fought, the other being arbiter of the contest and that the Scottish King came off victorious, having killed his antagonist.
