Abstract

Some years since, I submitted to the inspection of the Society of Antiquaries, Drawings of fourteen stone Pillars or Obelisks in Aberdeenshire, all bearing curious figures in rude sculpture; at the same time the Society did me the honour to read a few remarks and conjectures which I ventured to annex, with a view to throw some light on the meaning and era of such relics. Since then, I have, through the Baron de Penhouet, who has distinguished himself by deep research in Druidical mythology, forwarded copies of those which represent the most remarkable sculpture, and particularly of one bearing an inscription in a character hitherto, it is believed, unknown, to the Society of Antiquaries at Paris; from whom, it is to be hoped, these mysterious and symbolical vestigia will receive some elucidation.
