direction from H. W. to S.E., and cross nearly at right angles the 
lines of lamination of the stone. 
Over the upper surface of the boulder, there are about thirty-six 
artificial “ cup markings .” These marks are faint, where scorings are 
deepest and most frequent. The cup marks are well defined at the 
-N.E. end of the upper surface of stone, and also at the S.W. end. 
One seen well marked at S.E. side, about half an inch from top 
surface. 
(4) On Drynie Farm, S.W. of ISTo. 3, at height of 600 feet above 
sea, a mica schist boulder 12 x 8 x 4 feet; major axis N.H.W. and 
S.S.E. 
On the surface of boulder there are six striations ox groovings (not 
artificial), running H. and S. 
There is one cup mark at south end. 
(5) On Tulloch Hill, at 900 feet above sea, a boulder of same rock 
as Ho. 1 and 2, 8 x 6 x 4 feet, with major axis H.W. and S.E. 
The prevailing rock on Tulloch Hill is a bluish grey indurated 
sandstone shale. 
Where the outcrop stands upon opposite side of valley, the strata 
(dipping south at angle of 45°) have been rubbed and smoothed 
on their north faces by some natural agency, in many lines bearing 
N.W. and S.E. 
The prevailing soil on Tulloch Hill is a pale reddish till, derived 
possibly from the rocks of red sandstone and conglomerate, which 
exist towards the west. 
To the north of Tulloch Hill a moor stretches to a uniform height 
of 1100 feet, on which are many smaller boulders similar to those 
on the southern slope of the hill. They occur also to the east of the 
hill, all the way down to the Cromarty Eirth; and (as reported) 
even to the Black Isle. In most cases of the boulders having one 
axis longer than the other, the direction of the former is E. and W. 
2. Thinking it probable that these Tulloch Hill boulders came 
from the westward, Mr. Morrison states that he lately set out, 
accompanied by a few friends, on an excursion in that direction. 
At Garve (about eleven miles west of Dingwall), rock was found 
with surfaces rounded, smoothed, and striated ; the striae running 
E. and W. 
The Strathgarve district is covered with multitudes of boulders
