Saturday, September 1.--I took a walk to the top of that celebrated hill, Carn Brae. Here
are many monuments of remote antiquity, scarcely to be found in any other part of Europe:
Druid altars of enormous size, being only huge rocks, strangely suspended one upon the
other; and rock basins, followed on the surface of the rock, it is supposed, to contain the
holy water. It is probable these are at least coeval with Pompey's theater, if not with the
pyramids of Egypt. And what are they the better for this? Of what consequence is it either
to the dead or the living whether they have withstood the wastes of time for three thousand
or three hundred years?
