(Ross-shire), and the quartz rock of Royers” {Wernerian Trans., 
vol. iv. p. 205). 
Mr Jamieson of Ellon adverts to this same drift accumulation, 
known as Tornain Hill, in the following terms : — “ There are masses 
of coarse water- worn gravel rudely piled together, 200 feet thick. The 
stones are all water-rolled, and show no glacial striae. The pebbles 
are of various kinds of metamorphic and crystalline schists, red 
sandstones, conglomerates, granites, and porphyries. These materials 
look as if derived fromdhe rocks along the valley to the south-west” 
{Proceedings of the London Geological Society, January 11, 1865). 
(3) In town of Inverness, a boulder of greenstone or black granite, 
called Clacli-na-Gudaine''^ — Stone of the tub,’’ now standing in 
High Street, with pillar on it supporting town armorial bearings. 
Stone had formerly stood at top of clilf above River Hess, and from 
time immemorial afforded a convenient rest for the tubs or pitchers 
in which the women brought up water for household use. When a 
supply of water was brought into the town by pipes, the magistrates 
proposed to break up the boulder, but the townspeople objected at 
first even to its removal. A compromise was come to by the boulder 
being shifted to the side of the street, opposite to the Court-House, 
and by the erection on it of the Town Arms {First Report, p. 18). 
(4) At Clachnaharry , a boulder weighing about 100 tons, called 
“The Watchman’s Stone,” resting on a projecting part of the coast 
(opposite to Inverness), from which a good view can be had of 
Moray and Beauly Firths. 
Above Clachnaharry there are smoothed rocks, with grooves run- 
ning E. and W., a direction parallel with Beauly valley. 
(5) Culloden Muir. — Here stands “ The Duke of Cumberland’s 
Stone,” a Conglomerate boulder with six sides, height about 6 feet, 
and girth not quite 60 feet. Its longer axis W.H.W. On top of boul- 
der traces of striae running W. by H. Boulder lies on an extensive 
plateau about 450 feet above the sea. At nearly the same level a 
horizontal terrace is visible, looking south, on the hills to the south 
of the River Nairn, about two miles distant {Second Report, p. 158). 
There are no Conglomerate rocks, except on Loch Ness, which 
bear W.N.W. ; — or at Kilmorack (on River Beauly), which bear 
N.W., each place about 20 miles distant. 
Craig, Parish of. — About half a mile S.W. of village, a mica 
schist boulder, 17x8x9 feet. It lies on hills sloping down N.W.
