XX. Of a Volcanic Hill near Inverness. By Thomas West, Esq. p. 385. 

 The hill is about a mile and a half from Inverness, and is called by the inha- 

 bitants Creek. Faterick, or Peter's Rock: the lower part of it is chiefly ploughed 

 up: the upper part is extremely steep, craggy, and very difficult of access, and 

 appears to have evident marks of having been a volcano, as by much the greatest 

 part of the largest rocks on it have been either strongly calcined or fused, as will 

 plainly appear by some specimens picked up on the sides of the hill, others broken 

 off from the solid rock with a pick-axe, though not without great difficulty.
