Above Clachnaharry, grooves on rocks, E. and W. — a 
direction parallel with Beauly Yalley; might have been made 
by glacier descending valley, or by drift ice, if valley sub- 
merged. 
A remarkable boulder here, 30 paces in girth, and about 15 
feet high, and roughly estimated to weigh 100 tons;— pro- 
bably that called by Anderson “ The Watchman’s Stone.” 
Name very suitable, as it rests on a projecting part of coast, 
and extensive view from it. Situated on what appears a ter- 
race of drift, about 73 feet above sea. 
A very extensive sea-terrace, about 40 feet above sea, girds 
coast of Beauly Firth, and seems to be repeated at Lentran 
and Clunes Railway stations, towards Tain. 
Fort-William ,. — Ascended hill on north side of Linnhe Loch. 
Along both sides of loch several terraces visible, running for 
some distance one above another, — viz., 20 feet, 110 or 120 
feet, and 494 feet above sea. This hill, called Treshlik, 
covered by small pebbles, indicative of aqueous action. 
This hill about 1566 feet above sea. It forms a ridge 
about ^ mile long, running W.S.W. and E.N.E. Bocks on 
north and west sides smoothed, as if by friction of some agent 
passing over them from W.N.W. No such appearances on 
any other side of hill. 
But these smoothings confined to a line along hill, not reach- 
ing lower than about 60 feet from top, nor reaching higher 
than about 30 feet from top. 
Large boulder of coarse granite on N.W. angle of hill about 
1494 feet above sea. It is about 16 paces round, and about 
8 feet high. Boulder rests on the edge of the stratified rocks 
of hill, viz., clay slate. (See Plate, Sketch No. Yl.) 
The boulder in composition resembles boulder on Cluny 
MTherson’s lands. (See next page.) 
This boulder on very precarious site. The hill here exceed- 
ingly steep. Boulder could not have been brought from any 
eastern point ; for in that case, it would have rolled down hill. 
It probably did not come from a point due west, because 
Blythe Hill bears due west, about 2 miles distant, and forms 
a large mass about 2500 feet above sea, which would intercept
