At Black Knowe

I planned to go up to the hide in Cottascarth and, hearing that a white-tailed sea eagle was in the area, I hoped that I might see it. Of course, I did not. I have photographed this ruin before. The name refers to a mound just on the other side of the cottage. The RCAHMS website says...'mound at the foot of Tooin Rusht was excavated by Petrie and Thomas in 1849, (F W L Thomas 1852), who described it as nearly semicircular, consisting of sandy clay under a layer of peat 1ft thick.
The excavation revealed, at a depth of 6ft, a short cist containing a broken urn in which were ashes and burnt bones.
