ROCKING STONE [nr Cullch] | Rocking Stone Rocking Stone Rocking Stone |
Mr. Alexander Taylor Mr. John Donaldson Mr. Hugh McQueen |
106 | A large boulder of a globular shape, eight feet in diameter, and lying on the ground in such a way that a man, by exerting all his strength, is capable of giving it a very slight motion, Form the name a person would be led to suppose it an antiquity, but it is not. The people of the neighbourhood believe that it rolled, by a natural cause, from a high ridge of ground immediately above it, and through time the surface became worn round it which admits of its being so easily moved. |
