041 | "A promontory, or bold abutting headland, on the South side of Lunan Bay, Parish of Inverkeilor. It decends almost sheer down, in precipitous rock to the sea of 270 feet; and it is but a nodular projection of a stretch, several miles in extent, of bold, rocky, and high Coast........ The headland abounds with various species of sea fowls, it makes a fine display of the porphyritic formation of rock, it is distinctly seen at a great distance at sea, and is remarkable as the point northward which, before the year 1793, coal was not permitted to be carried without paying a very heavy duty." Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland. |
