Bridge. The valley of the Garbh Allt is very beautiful
and there is a profusion of wild roses in bloom
among the birch trees by its banks.

Of the cairn near Reidchalmai I could find not a
trace - nor of that to the E [East] of the bridge at Little Rogart
either. Striking N' [North]ward up a steep path over a hill
and through an open birch wood beyond I reached
Achnagarron on the edge of a wide expanse of moor.
Some 100 yds [yards] NE. [North East] of the W' [West]most croft on the
upper part of the N [North] slope of the rising ground
are 2 standing stones, which look as if they
might have been members of a stone circle.
They stand about 95' apart in a direction pointing
70º E of N. [East of North]. The most Easterly stands about 5' high
is about 2'.6" wide at base - squarish in section
& pointed to the upper end. (An old crofter told
me he had attempted to undermine it in his
youth looking for a pot of gold and had
tilted it slightly from the perpendicular.) The second
stone is about 4'.8" high, about 2'.3" across the
base & is also pointed.

Towards the E. [East] end of the ridge and E [East] of
