112 In the National Museum at Edinburgh is one of white flint (10 inches) from Fochabers, Elginshire, and another from the same place (7 inches). They are in shape much like Fig. 61. There is another of grey flint, from Skye (7 inches). One 5 inches long, in the same museum, from Roxburghshire, has the middle part of the faces ground flat, so that the section is a sort of compressed octagon; the edge is nearly straight.



Much the same form occurs in other materials than flint. I have a specimen, formed of flinty clay-slate, with one side less flat than the other, 10 inches long, 3 wide, and 1 thick, said to have been found with four others in a cairn on Druim-a-shi, Culloden, Inverness. I have another of whin-stone (9 inches) from Kirkcaldy, Fife.

The fine celt from Gilmerton, Fig. 76, is of the same class, but has a cutting edge at each end. Some Cumberland and Westmorland specimens partake much of this character.
