Applies to a green mound situated on the shore of the Bay of Quoys in Whaness. This is evidently the mound which Sir Walter Scott mentions in the "Pirate" as the cairn where he landed on his way to the Dwarfie Stane. The mound is composed of stones & earth. In 1812 the men employed removing stones from this mound for the purpose of building the adjacent house (Greenhill) found human bones, on which they ceased to excavate. There are however no stones to be seen now. |

NOTE.
In cases where the names in this Book
differ from the spelling given by the local Authorities, the Shetland form for similar Norse names was adopted and approved of by Captain McPherson, and I afterwards had all the names of this parish re-submitted when finally examining the Plans of Orkney.
