Full Description
NG53NE 11 552 379
In Boswell's Private Journal of the Hebridean Tour, ed Pottle, C H and Bennett, F A (1963), he refers to a line of 'dry stone buildings' running across Raasay. Perhaps this is to be associated with the parallel lines of stones prominently visible at a point 100m W of Creachan Lodge, crossing the road and the stream c.200m N of the Lodge and visible for some distance up the hillside. The line is not continuous, but the two lines are distinctly separate, of contiguous natural boulders for several stretches; they do not suggest a collapsed wall.
Information contained in Letter from Mr R Sharpe, Trinity College, Cambridge to Ordnance Survey, 15 February 1976.
