From this fact it may perhaps have derived its name . From its summit a fine view is obtained of the opposite (northern) hills stretching as far as the eye can reach [tods [towards]] the eastern extremity of the parish and skirting & defining [with] marked distinctness the limits of the valleys through which the Dalwhat and Cairn waters flow. |
