6th June 1910.
Bicycled to Yarrows and at the
loch side met W. H. Midwood and his wife.
He was a schoolfellow whom I had not seen for
25 years. I hope to see more of him as he is tenant

At the North end of the Loch of Yarrows
and immediately to the E. [East] of North Yarrows
is the site of a cairn which has been excavated
and removed and immediately adjoining
it there appears to be a second overgrown with turf. The latter does
not appear to have been excavated. From
E [East] to W [West] it has a diameter of some 40' and
from N [North] to S [South] of 50' but the edge of the cairn is
indefinite. Its elevation is about 5'. The cairns
stand on the end of a bank overlooking the
loch.

land and the loch are a number of parallel
rows of stones. The rows run almost due

line are parallel. There are eight rows
in all, six of which are fairly complete
for a distance of about 130' to 138'. Of one
row near the centre of the monument only
