There is also a Conglomerate boulder known by name of “ Tom 
RiacJiT Its west side 18 feet, north side 21 feet, east side 24 feet, south 
side 21 feet, and height 20 feet — 652 tons. Boulder rests on gneiss 
rock. Lower surface seems smooth, as if it had been pushed over hard 
materials. Boulder has by some means apparently come down the 
valley of the Nairn, viz., from westward {Second Report^ p. 158). 
On plateau, 4 miles south of Inverness, at about 774 feet above 
sea, another Conglomerate boulder, with thin stratum of Old Red 
Sandstone on its top. Its girth about 51 feet, height 9 feet. Longer 
axis N. and S. A kaim of gravel and sand, about 900 feet above sea, 
situated north of boulder, running E. and W., or parallel with Nairn 
valley, on north side of which it occurs {Second Report ^ p. 158). 
(6) Dallanossie Parish, — Boulder (apparently coarse granite) 
30 X 18 X 9 feet (360 tons), on Dallry Farm, Moy estate. Boulder 
split into two parts, which gives its name, viz., “ Glach Schuiltf or 
“ Cloven Stone” Height above sea 2090 feet {Captain White of 
Ordnance Survey). 
(7) Duntelchah Hill, west of Inverness, about 900 feet above sea, 
composed of coarse Conglomerate. On N.W. side rocks are ground 
down and smoothed; on S.E. side rocks rough and steep. Granite 
boulder, 7x4 feet, lies on N.W. slope of hill, about 30 feet below 
top. Longer axis N.W., with sharp end towards that quarter. No 
granite rocks in this district except to west, about 10 miles distant. 
(8) Flichity Valley (about 8 or 9 miles S.W. of Inverness), 
through which River Nairn flows. 
An isolated hill on south side of valley, about 1620 feet above 
sea, well covered with boulders, which are precariously situated on 
account of steepness of hill-side {Lithograph No. 32, Plate X.). 
They are chiefly on west slopes. 
On this hill there are horizontal terraces, with boulders on them. 
At east end of Flichity valley a great embankment, which, before 
being cut through by River Nairn, must have been the means of 
forming a lake filling the valley. The cut across this embank- 
ment, through which river flows, is about 200 feet deep. 
There are also in the upper part of Nairn valley many large 
gneiss boulders, supposed by Mr Jolly to have come from the west, 
several of which are split ; one at height of 2260 feet above sea-level. 
At Farr, in Nairn valley, to the east of the embankment, and near 
junction with another valley which runs N.W. up to Duntelchak, there
