George Williamson, farmer, Latheron Mains.
has the missing portion of a sculptured stone
found by John Nicholson and now in the National
Museum. There is a celtic cross in front
of the Byre.

[Margin] [Sharrery] Chapel

William Fraken has two cup-marked stones of very
peculiar form which he dug up. Close to the chapel is a broch.
Nicholson has a reconstructed jug with a
handle of coarse dark coloured earthenware
recovered in pieces from the site of a lake
dwelling in Alterwal loch, Bower parish.
Returning to Ackergill I found Cree at
the hut circle which had been excavated
under his directions. He has full details
& measurements.

15th June 1910.
Dunbeath Castle. By invitation
of Mrs Alexander Sinclair we spent the day
at Dunbeath. We took the train to Lybster
& were there met by her motor. The day was
absolutely perfect and the sea beneath a
cloudless sky looked as blue as the Medi:
:terranean. The road for the most part runs
along near the cliffs that fringe the shore
at times dipping down by rather terrifying
gradients to cross he bottom of a glen.
