I did not observe any terraces at a higher level ; but I saw that 
there were many boulders on the slope of the hill above, some of 
large size. 
With the view of proceeding next to the low grounds, where the 
extended lines of kaims and boulders were seen to be situated, I 
walked south along the highest of the above terraces, and observed 
that it gradually ceased to touch or abut with a flat surface on 
the hill, and that it became separated from the hill by a narrow 
trough, as if the detritus next the hill had been scoured out by the 
action of water currents, or of rain descending on it from the slope 
of the hill The terrace at length became so narrow as to become 
a bank or ridge, the outer flank of Which was, of course, much 
higher than the flank next the hill 
The upper surface of the terrace now ceased to be horizontal, and 
sloped down towards the S.E. As I proceeded, I observed, on my 
right hand, some rocks much smoothed; at a height of from 1500 
to 1600 feet. 
A little further south, I came to a projecting rocky corner of the 
hill, named Craig DliubJi^ indicated on the one-inch Ordnance 
]\Iap by the sudden bending of the contour lines towards the S. W. 
The surfaces of the rocks there were seen to have been greatly 
smoothed (apparently from the north), whilst immense masses of 
rock were lying at the foot of the crag] It was only at this corner 
of the hill that any smoothing of these masses existed. Eocks con- 
tinued in a S.W. direction without any such features^ The agent 
which had produced these effects had, at this point, apparently 
slanted off towards the S.E. 
Before descending further, I looked with my glass across the 
valley towards the hills on the east, and descried there several 
lines of terrace on the south projecting shoulder of Craig Dhu and 
Connichte, and also on some high ground near the Rough Burn 
(Sketch Map B, Plate XI,). These I decided on visiting, after in- 
spection of the low grounds immediately below me^ 
In my way towards the low grounds A, I walked along a kaim 
or gravel bank, whose course followed a direction about E.S.E., and 
sloped downwards, with steep sides from 20 to SO feet high. I 
observed that there were also many boulders on the low grounds, 
some of them forming lines or trainees.
