At Coul I parted with Mr Bentinck and

so unpromising that we returned. In
the afternoon with Cree, Rev. [Reverend] Bentinck I visited

a short distance SE. [South East] of the E. [East] end of the
loch is a standing stone. It is a large
monolith of sandstone roughly quadran:
:gular at base tapering to a point at its upper
extremity. It is 8'.9" in height above
the ground, 29" across the W [West] face at base,
and 22" on the N. [North].

Excavation has been made about its centre
