JAMES ROY'S CAIRN | James Roys Cairn James Roys Cairn James Roys Cairn |
J. Fleming Factor Marianburgh D Grant Altvounnie George McDonald Lynemore |
026 | This name applies to a Cairn of Stones, erected by a man named James Roy, who was evidently a half wit. According to report the Said James Roy, had risen one night to look at the state of the weather, and seeing the moon's reflection in some water, and thinking this something out of the ordinary run of things. He climbed the hill and built the Cairn, to commemorate the event, and it Still stands as a monument of his folly. |
