It is conjectured that the hollow would be much larger and deeper at that time than now, at that time it was covered with whins and heather, since it has been reclaimed and levelled for the plough. The place has been pointed out by the only one in the Village who knows anything at all about it Viz Mr. Thomas Fraser. The property of John Gordon Esqr. Cluny |
