During a jolly visit to the island, Johnson and Boswell danced a reel on the flat top of Dun Caan and discovered a prehistoric souterrain near Raasay House. |
A sketch was made of the souterrain and it was found to be about 52 feet long. |
Londonderry, the owner opened a trapdoor in his yard, and allowed me to look down into a souterrain. |
On the other hand, there appears to be no objection to growing crops on the top of a souterrain. |
No mortar has been used in its construction, and I should say it is an old souterrain, or part of a souterrain. |
My best thanks are also due to Mrs. Hobson for allowing me to make use of her photograph of the entrance to this souterrain. |
