from the S. [South]. No conjoined examples were
observed but one cairn of the usual size

[Sketch inserted]

(18') has a wall built from it
at the W. [West] side which curves S. [South] and
then E [East] down the hill
at 53' distant, is an irregular
line. Crossing & recrossing
the Halladale was not a serious
matter as the river was low.
Rejoining the motor we proceeded
onwards towards Melvich.
About 1 1/2 SSE. [South South East] of Melvich Inn toward
the N. [North] end of Loch Mor and on the E [East] side
where it narrows are the fragmentary remains
of a broch. Only a few of the foundation
stones remain which indicate a diameter
over all of about 55'. An upright stone
3'.6" high 16' in from the N [North] end possibly
marks the end of the entrance passage.
We reached Melvich Inn about 5.30.
The village of crofts straggles along the
hill side rising up from the Halladale
river for a mile or more in appearance
