iron slag is visible. It is not immixed with
charcoal as that on the Skelpick burn was.
As I expected to meet Jocelyn & her father
at the end of the Ard na’ Sinnis I crossed
to the promontory and walked along it. As I
lay resting during my walk six stags startled
by some boys raced past close by me.
Towards the end of the Ard about 400 yds [yards]
from its SE. [South East] point is a hut circle & several
cairns of the usual type. On reaching
the end of the Ard about 3 o’clock I saw the
boat in the far distance well on its way back
to Lairg so after resting I retraced my steps
and crossing to the mainland by a bridge
walked back to Lairg. A mile out I met
a motor sent to pick me up. I find I
walked about 16 miles.

Sunday. 20. June 1909. A showery day. Went to
church in forenoon & was glad of a rest
in the afternoon.

M [Monday] 21st. June. Went to Brora with Jocelyn to
get rooms for August, secured them in
the Grand Hotel - a new temperance hotel. They
seem nice & are moderate in cost. Letter
from Sir Herbert saying not to hesitate about
a private sitting room.
