The Druidical Circles are situated on the top of a small range of hills lying to the north of Fowlis. They consist of large stones set on their ends, about two feet apart. There is avery large standing stone, about 60 feet to the north, which appears to be some way connected with these circles. |

[Notes under object name of Druidical Temple:]
Stone Circles -
see order dated
10th. Der. [December] 1864
Standing stone should not
be written to the two stones
isolated from the Circles
The following is taken from the New Statistical Account.
"On the summit of the hill, north of Fowlis Wester village, there is a Druidic circle of stones, and a double concentric
circle. This is believed to have been the temple of an arch Druid, which when erected was probably in the midst of
a forest in which were the oak, and consecrated grove, the favourite objects of their superstition. The circle consists
of sixteen stones, between which and the double circle there is a large stone incumbent, where the arch Druid stood and addressed himself to those around him.
The outer precinct of the concentric circle is eighteen yards in circumference, in which are forty stones. Three yards north from it, there is a large standing stone,
which is probably monumental of some illustrious dead, as they were then interred around those places where they worshiped the Supreme Being."
There is no trace now of the concentric circle noticed above, but it is very probable that the two isolated standing stones formed part of it.

A large flat stone about 14 feet high surrounded by a low stone wall, on the top of which are iron railings About the year 84 of of the Christian era, a battle was fought between the Romans, and the natives to the N.W. [North West] of this parish. The latter were put to flight. It is probable that Galgacus, on the occasion, commanded the natives. To mark the tomb of one of the Roman officers who fell, a rude massive stone, was erected. At what time the stone was transported to Fowlis, is not known.

Stone Cross (continued) |

[continued from page 56]
The cross stood at one time, in the Church yard, to the east of the church, round which it is said, a shoe market was held, every Sabath, to entice the folks to come to church. On the east side of the cross is the figure of a priest, in Druidical costume, leading a cow to the altar, followed by a conclave of priests - also the figure of a wolf, pursued by riders and dogs. (The wolf has the head of a child in his mouth) It is said that a wolfchase took place in this place, when the infuriated animal, being hotly chased, decapitated a child, who, unluckily intercepted his path. Near the top of this stone, is the figure of a cross, to which is attached an iron chain - the pillory - in which Kirk defaulters used to be bound, and pelted with rotton eggs, as a punishment. When this barberous way of penance was superceded, by the

The parish Church is a plane narrow rectangular building of no pretensions to symetry. The date of the foundation of this Church is not known. The site of this Church was chosen by one of the Earls of Strathearn, standing on the Seat Knowe, watching the spot on which the rays of the matin sun irradiated. It was repaired in 1641; and again, in 1841. The entrance to the church from the south is by a gate archway, of hewn stones. On the stone above the arch, is written in antique letters, and orthography "Take heed to thy foot when thow go into the house of God". 1644. It is seated for 461 persons. |
