Extract

Sir Charles Lyell, in the 3d edition of his “ Antiquity of Man,” published in 1863, makes the following statement:—

“Until lately, it was confidently assumed, that no alteration had. occurred in the relative levels of land and sea, in the central district of Scotland, since the construction of the Roman or Pictish wall (the wall of Antonine), which reached from the Firth of Forth to that of the Clyde.”
