Doune (near Kilbride). — A large Conglomerate boulder, weighing 
about 900 tons (First Report, p. 46). 
The nearest Conglomerate rocks in situ are W.K. W. from boulder, 
and distant about 7 miles. The boulder in shape is angular. It lies 
on gravel. The boulder must have been carried to its site (Estuary 
of the Foidh, p. 41). 
Dunblane. — Gneiss boulder on Cromlix estate, about 4 miles 
south of Grampians, 17 x 10 x 5 feet. Longer axis S.W. and K. E. 
In Redgorton parish, four boulders (at west end of gravel ridge) 
reported to be Silurians; distant from Grampians 12 miles (lliird 
Report, p. 5). 
Dunkeld. — On Craigiebarns Hill, to K.E. of town, mica schist 
boulders, lying chiefly on knolls and other exposed surfaces which 
face K.W. at a height of about 1000 feet above Eiver Tay. 
On this hill, rocks smoothed and striated, by some agency which 
evidently passed over them from N.K.W. 
The directions of the striae at lower levels correspond more with 
axis of valley, which is about K.E. 
The highest striations seem to indicate an agent which passed 
obliquely across the valley (Second Report, pp. 170, 171). 
Fortingall. — Gneiss boulder, 24 x 16 x 13 feet, called Clach an 
Salainer Height above sea, 2500 feet. Longer axis K.W. Com- 
posed of six or seven large fragments, weighing about 300 tons. 
Rests on coarse gritty sand. Rocks in situ clay slate. About 500 
feet below boulder, thick beds of clay, sand, and gravel, denoting 
aqueous agency (First Report, p. 46, and Second Report, p. 172). 
Fowlis . — Several granite boulders near Abercairney, lying on Old 
Red Sandstone. Have come most probably from K.W., in which 
direction, at a distance of about 20 miles, there are granite rocks. 
Supposed to have been used as places of worship and sepulture in 
ancient times (First Report, p. 47, and Second Report, p. 171). 
Killiecrankie.- — ^A large angular limestone boulder, half a mile 
north of Tenandry Manse ; — believed to have come from Beii-y- 
Gloe, or some other mountain adjoining to the north. 
On Fascally estate, immense beds of stratified gravel and sand 
(filling the valley, and cut through by mountain torrents), traced 
by Convener up to height of 1570 feet above sea. He was told 
by Rev. Mr Grant of Tenandry of there being similar beds at
