Loch Long. — On ridge (about 350 feet above sea), between this 
Locb and Garelocb, there are several boulders of mica slate. Largest 
11x6x6 feet. The rocks in situ are clay slate. Longer axis in 
most is N. by E., parallel with Loch Long valley. Two of boulders 
blocked at south ends. 
In the Gareloch, on east beach, a little below Shandon, a gneiss 
boulder 18 x 15 x 12 feet (240 tons), with sharp end pointing E.W. 
At that end, surface is smooth — at south end, surface is rough. 
In Third Boulder Report (p. 5), reference made to an account of 
the grey granite boulders seen by the late Charles Maclaren, amount- 
ing in number to several hundreds, one weighing 30 tons. Mr 
Maclaren inferred that these had all come from N.N.W. The 
opinion of Dr Robert Chambers and Sir Roderick I. Murchison 
also referred to. 
On east side of the loch, opposite to Ardentinny, gneiss boulder 
called “ Jenny Meullensf weighing about 380 tons, lying jammed 
in a gorge formed by rocky banks of a rivulet {Lithograph Ho. 2, 
Plate YIIL). Seemed from position to have come from north 
{Third Boulder Report, p. 1). 
Another gneiss boulder 12x8x8 feet, with longer axis H.W. by 
H. Strite on rocks adjoining run H. 2° or 3° W. The smoothed 
surfaces of rocks dip towards north. 
On Loch Goil, above Carrick Castle, gneiss boulder called 
Clach Udalain^’ {i.e>f^ Stone unstahle^^), at height of 1526 feet 
above sea, lying on clay slate (about 300 tons) {Lithograph Ho. 3, 
Plate VIII.) {Tim'd Report, p. 2). 
Loch Goit and Loch Long, junction of. — “ Giant Pidting Stone,” 
resting on smoothed rock 450 feet above sea. Rocks smoothed only 
on north aspects {Lithograph Ho. 4, Plate VIII.), 
Knap Farm, — Several boulders lying on similarly smoothed rocks 
{Lithograph Ho. 5, Plate YIIL). 
Glen Finnart. — Gneiss boulder about 7 feet high, 824 
feet above sea, called “ Pulag,” — butted against a rock at its 
south end. Reasons given why this boulder and others of smaller 
size appear to have come from north. 
Firth of Clyde. — At Dunoon, Kirn, Innellan, Toward Lighthouse, 
and Loch Striven, there are numerous boulders, many of large size 
on and near the shore, some of them with local names and legends. 
They differ from adjoining rocks.
