TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 831 



llie Nairn ; the Oat-stane at Kirkliston ; the Burgh of Clickanim, have also been 

 ■withheld by their owners, but most of them are very well taken care of. The 

 ■Cairns at Minnigaff were nearly destroyed before they were scheduled, and are not 

 worth preserving. The inscribed stone in St. Vigean's churchyard is preserved in 

 the porch of the church, but it is not included. Ou the other hand Edin's Hall, 

 the largest and most southern of the remains of the Pictish Towers in Berwick- 

 shire, has been included by Mr. J. S. Fraser-Tytler ; the Black and White Cather- 

 thuns have been added by Miss Carnegy Arbuthnot ; both these are large camps 

 having ramparts of stones and earthworks round them, and they are described in 

 'General Roy's work. The Pictish Towers at Glenelg have been included by Mr. 

 James Bruce Bailey, they are in a very bad state of repair, and have been 

 propped up by the Government. The inscribed stones at Laggangairn, New Luce, 

 have been included by Lord Stair ; they are at a great distance from any road or 

 habitation, and the protection afforded them, beyond the powers contamed in the 

 Act, must be regarded as nominal. The Peter's stone, on the road from Wigton to 

 Whithorn, has not been added ; it is an important stone, and is in a dangerous 

 position, it has already suffered damage, and it is to be hoped it will be included 

 hereafter. The chapel on the Isle of Whithorn, supposed to be that built by 

 St. Ninian, has been included by Mr. R. Johnstone Stewart ; this was not in the 

 schedule. The Pillars of Kirkmadrine have been included by Mrs. Ommaney 

 McTaggart ; they are the earliest Christian monuments in the country. I sug- 

 gested that Government should contribute towards building a small chapel to con- 

 tain them, which has been done. The Cross at Ruthwell, with its remarkable 

 runes, which were gradually being destroyed and covered with lichen so that its 

 inscription could not be read, has also been added. I suggested that the Government 

 should contribute towards building an annex to the neighbouring church to con- 

 tain it, which has been done. This was not in the schedule. The cup-marked 

 rock of Drumtrodden, Wigtonshire, has been added by Sir Herbert Maxwell, and 

 Government has granted a certain sum towards building a shed over it to preserve 

 it. It was not in the schedule, but is a good example of its class. Barsalloch 

 Fort, Wigtonshire, the Moat Hill of Druchtag, the Drumtrodden standing stones, 

 Wigtonshire, have also been added by Sir Herbert Maxwell. St. Ninian's Cave, 

 with its early Christian crosses, has been included by Mr. Johnstone Stewart. In 

 the island of Lewis the remarkable standing stones in the form of a cross at 

 Callemish, and the Broch at Carloway, have been added by Lady Matheson. This 

 latter is, next to Mousa, the best Pictish tower in the country. In Cumberland the 

 Stone Circle on Castle Rigg has been put under the Act by Miss Edmondson. In 

 Westmoreland Arthur's Round Table, an earthen circle with a ditch in the in- 

 terior, and Mayborough, a large circle with an embankment of stones and the 

 remains of a stone circle within, have been included by Lord Brougham. In Derby- 

 shire, Arborlow, a large circle similar to Arthur's Round Table, with the remains 

 of a stone circle, the stones of which are prostrate, and a large tumulus near it have 

 been added by the Duke of Rutland. Hob Hurst's House, and the Circle on Eyam 

 Moor, which also has a large cairn close to it, have been included by the Duke of 

 Devonshire, and the Nine Ladies, a circle of small stones on Stanton Moor by 

 Major Thornhill. In Gloucestershire, Uleybury, a long barrow with a well-pre- 

 served stone chamber, has been added by Colonel Kingscote. In Oxfordshire the 

 RoUi-ich stones have been included by Mr. J. Reade. In Kent, Kit's Ooty House 

 by Mr. Brassey, which is the remains of a long barrow, the traces of which can be 

 seen, with part of the stone chamber remaining. In Somerset the stone circles at 

 Stanton Drew by Mr. S. B. Coates, and the Cove there by Mr. Fowler • the 

 chambered tumulus at Stouey Littleton by Lord Hylton. In "Wiltshire, the 'lonf 

 barrow at West Kennet by the Rev. R. M. Ashe, and Silbury Hill by Sir John 

 Lubbock. In Dorsetshire the chambered long barrow, called the Grey Mare and 

 Colts, near Gorwell, by Mr. A. B. Sheridan ; the circle of Nine Stones near Bride- 

 head Park by Mr. R. Williams ; the stone circle on Kingston Russell Farm by 

 the Duke of Bedford, and in Wales the Pentre Evan cromlech, one of the largest 

 in the country, by Lord Kensington — making in all thirty-six which have been 

 placed under the Act with the consent of their owners. AU these and many
