_Other Stone Relics._--Besides the above there are a few other articles of stone bearing the evidence of design, which I must just allude to. 1. A large stone having a deep groove all round about it, as if intended for a rope. The larger portion of this groove was caused by atmospheric agencies, and only one side could be positively stated to have been artificially formed. 2. A thin oval-shaped disc of a light black substance like shale, measuring 3 inches by 2 inches. 3. Portion of a polished stone 2 inches long, having a narrow groove surrounding one end, and through which it appears to have been broken (Fig. 62). _Flint Implements._--Only three flint objects have been discovered on the crannog. 1. A beautifully chipped horseshoe-shaped scraper, found at north-east corner, on a level with the raised wooden platform. It is made of a whitish flint, and measures 1 inch in length by 1-1/4 in breadth (Fig. 63). [Illustration: Fig. 63.--Flint Scraper (1/1).] [Illustration: Fig. 64.--Flint Flake (1/1).] [Illustration: Fig. 65.--Posterior of Flint Flake (1/1).] 2. A large knife-flake, 3 inches long and 1-1/4 broad, which appears to have been much used at the edges and point. It is also made of a whitish flint, and presents three smooth surfaces above and one below (Fig. 64). 3. The end portion of another flake, made of a dark flint (Fig. 65). _Spindle Whorls._--Three small circular objects, supposed to be spindle whorls, are here classed together. Two are made of clay, and were found in the relic-bed near the fireplaces. The smaller of the two is 1-1/4 inch in diameter, and has a small round hole in the centre; the other has a diameter of 1-3/4 inch, but is only partially perforated, just sufficient to indicate that the act of perforation had been commenced but not completed (Figs. 66 and 67). The third object is a smooth, flat, circular bit of stone, 1-1/2 inch in diameter and 1/2 an inch thick, and is perforated in the centre like a large bead (Fig. 68). [Illustration: Fig. 66.--Clay Spindle Whorl (1/1).] [Illustration: Fig. 67.--Clay Spindle Whorl (1/1).] A fourth spindle whorl was found by a visitor from Dumfries-shire and carried away, but it has been returned lately, and is now among the collection. It is made of an oval sandstone pebble, and is slightly larger than the one represented by Fig. 68. [Illustration: Fig. 68.--Stone (1/1).] II. OBJECTS OF BONE. Upwards of twenty implements made of bone have been added to the general collection, all of which were found either in the relic-bed or refuse-heap. The following are the most interesting:--
