Abstract


John Stuart uses this article to inform the Society of several underground chambers discovered in Aberdeenshire. He begins by briefly describing the geographical features and legends associated with the area. He then moves on to discuss the underground tomb that was uncovered at Culsh, along with the standing stones located nearby. He also describes several similar tombs found in other parts of Aberdeenshire, including an account from Colonel Fraser of the tomb he excavated at Castle Fraser.

 

Meetings minutes for April 17, 1854 are appended.
