Mr David Smith, Newark; Mr. Donald Stephen, Norton; Mr. Magnus Johnston, Queena. | 094 | "On the hill N. of Quoyloo there is a Standing Stone, and also a curious collection of large ancient stones, to which the name Haly Kirk is still applied; and a gentleman residing in that neighbourhood informs me, that he recollects one of these, now prostrate, supported by those that are still perpendicular, thus completing that resemblance to an altar, which its name seems to indicate," Extract from New Statistical account of Scotland, There are four of those stones still perpendicular, and are about 2 1/2 feet high, There are nine others placed on edge in the ground, but only just projecting through the surface, and a few more lying about promiscuously |
