Lowest axis N.W. Size 12 x 8J x 8 feet ; striated in various 
directions. Well rounded. 350 feet above sea. 
The rocks of district old red. Nearest- place, where rocks 
same as boulders occur, is in Ross-shire to N.W. 
Thousands of smaller boulders, similar to the above, scat- 
tered over district, used for buildings. (Captain White, 
R.E.) 
Kahn of gravel and sand, with steep sides. Average direc- 
tion east and west, winding in usual serpentine way. Is 
here continuous for f mile. Average height above adjoin- 
ing ground 30 feet. Full of well-rounded and smooth pebbles 
and boulders from rocks of district. 
Auldearn (Parish). — Brightmoney, Lathan Estate, south of Dalmore 
Free Church. Five conglomerate boulders all on ground, 
sloping towards N.W., about 200 feet above sea, and 1 mile 
distant. Partly buried in sandy drift. 
Their longer axis N.W. They slope towards that quarter, 
and have a smooth surface; whilst S.E. ends rough and steep. 
If these blocks were originally, when brought to spot, cubical, 
as when detached from parent rocks, they would have this shape. 
If any strong current loaded with ice were to come from N.W., 
their angles on N.W. end might be broken off, so as give 
shapes they now have. (See Plate, Sketch No. VII.) 
Cawdor . — Hill of Urchany, composed of granite rocks. Neverthe- 
less, blocks of old red sandstone scattered over surface in such 
quantities, that used for building houses and dykes. These 
must have come from north, as sandstone rocks only in that 
quarter, about 2 miles distant, and at a lower level. 
The following four conglomerate boulders seen : — 
1. “Clach na Gtillean,” or “Young Man’s Stone.” Height 10 
feet, and girth 54 feet. Height above sea, 687 feet. Some 
of its corners angular, on crest or summit level of Urquhany 
hill. (See Plate, Sketch No. V.) 
2. “Clach na Cailleach,” or “Old Wife’s Stone,” on same 
hill, but on side which slopes to west by north. Height 15 
feet ; girth, 54 feet. Height above sea, 581 feet. 
3. “ Clach an Oglach,” or “Boy’s Stone.” Lies at east end 
of a kaim. Height, 9 feet; girth, 69 feet ; above sea, 312
