Mr. W. Allan, East Bigging. Mr. Peter Stockan, South Mr. John Marwick Burwick Seatter. |
100 | A rock bound promontory almost surrounded by water. It is of an oblong shape, and about 1/8 mile in length: situated on the W. coast of the Parish of Sandwick, and between "Noust of Bigging", and "Geldi Geo". It is the property of Mrs. Watt of Breckness. There does not appear to have been a building of any kind on this headland: It evidently got the name on account of its almost inaccessible form. |
