There is, indeed, a flat level space round the whole island extending from the bottom of those banks to the water's edge, but the whole of this space has been, at one time or other, Completely Covered with the sea. This is evident from the fields of sand and beds of Marl which it Contains; and if so, its appearance then would exactly agree with what its name Signifies. Its figure is very irregular &c. The shore, which is, as already Stated, flat and level for some Considerable distance from the sea, is, in some places, Sandy, as in Kames Bay, on the South-east of the [continued on next page] |

"Of all the more remarkable Scottish sepulchral memorials, the Cairn is
most frequently found, scattered through many districts, and Corresponding
to nearly every class of the earthen tumuli. They appear to have been the
favourite and most distinguished Sepulchral memorials of the aboriginal
races, throughout the whole 3 periods into which archaelogists divide the
long era prior to the revolutions effected by Roman civilisation and the
introduction of Christianity. Cairns are either still found, or are known
to have existed, in near by every parish of Scotland" &c
