DUBH LOCHS OF SHIELTON | Dubh Lochs of Shielton | Mr McKinnon, Shielton Mr Hugh McKay, Kensary Mr G. Ryrie, Achalipster |
023 | An extensive tract of marshy moorland with no definite boundry - as it varies slightly in size in wet and dry weather. It is extremely dangerous to cross, unless to those who know the nature of the ground. these Dubh Lochs are scarcely a complete marsh as it is possable to cross parts of them in dry weather - by jumping from one patch of rough pasture to another. |
