A large & irregularly shaped Stone Situated near the centre of an Eminence Called Meikle Lump on the N.

The following is a copy from 'Grose's Antiquities' This huge Stone, which is poised as to 'be moveable with a small exertion of force, stands near the Summit of a high ridge of Mountains, called the 'Kells Rins' The particular hill on which it is situated is called 'Mullae, and the Stone itself is called Miekle Lump; near it is a Small pool of water which covers about half a rood of land. The dimensions of this Stone are, its greatest length 8 feet 9 inches, its height 5 feet one inch and a half, its circumference twenty two feet 9 inches'.

Rocking Stone |
Continued |
|
|
It is called the Laggan Stone from the British Uag, perhaps which signifies what is loose. The Minister says that some antiquaries think it was a Druid object of worship: but, he supposes it may have been placed, by nature as we now see it, and that the soft parts being washed away, left it resting upon its hard corner: yet, he seems not to have adverted that there are many rocking Stones in Britain, and in Ireland, as well as in other Countries, while some of them appear to be obviously connected with Druid remains, which evince their Druid use.'
In the Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] of Kirkcudbright published 1845 is the following notice. 'The rocking Stone is no longer an object of attraction. About 20 years ago it was displaced from its pivot; whether from its effects of lightning or by Some mischievous persons is not Known'
