The following quote is from "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon "Standing Stones" copyright © 1991 by Diana Gabaldon all rights reserved


We stopped for a packed luncheon near the base of a curious flat-topped hill. Green as most of its neighbors, with the same rocky juts and crags, it had something different: a well-worn path leading up one side and disappearing abruptly behind a granite outcrop.

"What's up there?" I asked, gesturing with a ham sandwich. "It seems a difficult place for picnicking."

"Ah." Mr. Crook glanced at the hill. "That's Craigh na Dun, lass. I'd meant to show ye after our meal."

"Really? Is there something special about it?"

"Oh, aye," he answered, but refused to elaborate further, merely saying that I'd see when I saw.
