e Benhecula, South Uist, there was found deeply interred in a

e lion. It was in a sitting posture, holding in its right hand the
c handle of a sword ; on digging a little deeper, there were discb-
vered the fragments
Y coinage, bearing a strong resemblance to those of the Emperor
if Siverus. A few remarkable circumstances attending this disco
Is very arc not unworthy of notice. Some years ago the bank of
h sand, under which this skeletontwas found, was so high that it
i- served as a bulwark to stop the raging billows of the Atlantic :
it but by the gradual encroachment of the sea, and the constant
it drifting of the sand, which is so prevalent in the Hebrides, this
Vtimulits was removed, when a bed of stones nearly about the
e size of bricks, diagonally and longitudinally arranged, presented
.r noir. This led some gentlemen in the Island to cause this bed
,f to be carefully examined, when the skeleton, &c. were found its
e already mentioned. Those who are acquainted ...-ith the quail-
.t. ties of pure sand, unmixed with any particles ef earth, f"r
if powerfully resisting corrosion, will not dispute the possibility of
!e-. this skeleton to be that of some distinguished Re:11411 hero : but
how it should happen to be interred in a quarter so remote,
Nrhiiher the Roman eagle never penetrated, according to coin-
,- mon opinion, is not so easily accounted for. Though the belief
rt that the Romans never crossed the Grampian Bills is consider-
t, ably weakened, by a regular Roman encampment now vi:ible in
the district of Badcnocli, Inverness.

ie been found in pulling down some old houses at Skipton. Various
)11 conjectures are formed about them, but the prevailing and 'tota
t- probable opinion is, that they are the remains of the victims in
the civil wars, of ss hich Skipton Castle was so frequently the
