Notes

It lies on the boundary, and indeed is marked by a boundary stone and two falled stone blocks NMRS). About half a mile north of Tain, by the sea shore, and well under high water mark, is a spring dedicated to the Virgin. Its waters were a remedy for consumption, but they had to be drunk on the spot, and as early in the morning as the state of the tide allowed (NMRS).
