Standing Stone. Borgue. (98)
Out on the moor at Borgue about 1/2 m [mile] to
the W. [West] of the main road to Wick is a high
standing stone. It is a slab standing
12'.8" above ground pointed to its upper ex:
:tremity, 5'.6" broad at greatest breadth, 3'.5" broad
at base and 1'.8" in thickness. It faces
W by N. [West by North] and E by S. [East by South].

Chambered Cairn, remains, Allt na Buidhe (55)
On the right bank of the Allt na Buidhe
About 1/3 m. [mile] above the road bridge at Borgue
are the scanty remains of a chambered
cairn. The stones have been almost entirely
removed. Three large upright slabs remain
marking the position of the chamber
but its plan is unascertainable. The
Entrance appears to have been from the
SSE. [South South East]
At Borgue I said goodbye to Egerton
who had motored me wherever car could
go for four days and through storm
& rain had waded over wet moors
helping me to measure our "finds".
J [Jocelyn] met me with a trap & we got
back to Lybster about 6.30.
