as lying about 1/2 m. [mile] N E. [North East] of the summit of Kirk
Hill on the E [East] side of the Watershed and to the N. [North]
of the Clachanbirnie Burn where it commences
to flow in a South Easterly direction.
Keeping the crest of the moorland I struck
Southward over the shoulder of the Kirk Hill
thence over the top of Brownmoor Hill till I
looked down into the glen of the Glenkill
Burn

Small Cairns Knockespen
On the East of Knockespen and on the some:
:what steep flank of the hill where rises
the stream that flows down Tuppark Linn
there lie a considerable number of small
cairns at an elevation of from 800 to 900 ft. [feet]
above sea level. They vary from
12 ft [feet] in diameter to nearly 20 ft. [feet] and some of
them have an elevation of from 2 to 3 ft. [feet].
It is noteworthy that these cairns do not
extend onto the more level stretch of
moorland that commences below the 800
ft. [feet] level but with singular regularity affect
an elevation of 800 to 900 ft. [feet] over sea level.
I must have done nearly eight miles of
good rough walking before I rejoined
J. & S. at the car & got my lunch.
