[Notes under Hunter's Craig or Eagle Rock]
Defaced Figure of an Eagle on Face of Rock - Supposed Roman
"The rock of freestone known by the name of the Hunter's Craig on the Sea Shore west from Cramond had on its east face a rude Sculpture bearing some resemblance to the figure of an Eagle Standing upright with its back to the rock by some supposed to have been executed by the Romans. All traces of that figure are now worn away the stone of which the rock is composed being of a very soft friable nature." - Woods History of Cramond 1794 Page 12.
The above notice from Wood's Hist. [History] of Cramond, viz, that "All traces of that figure are now worn away" is wrong; the outline or "defaced figure" is quite distinct in bold relief on the face of the rock, neither is the stone of that "Friable soft nature" as above stated. |
