006 | A large cultivated district: the property of Sir Robert Sinclair of Reay. "Murkol", now Murkle, in caithness is a large district, or tract of fine corn ground in the Parish of Olrig, the seat also of the last Earle of Caithness. It appears that Murkle was the seat of great men in ages past from the ruins still to be seen in it, and from the history it seems that Eric the bloody resided in it some time as did also Ragnildis his daughter. Through the wicked contrivances of this Ragnildis, her husband Arnfinnus was Killed. |
