Persian graffiti on the Dwarfie Stane
Captian William Mounsey is nowadays remembered for his enigmatic graffiti, in particular for a carved inscription he left on the Dwarfie Stane. Mounsey camped here in 1850 and inscribed in Persian script in the sandstone: "I have sat two nights and so learnt patience", this is taken to be a reference to the Highland midge. Above the Persian is his own name written backwards as 'YESNUOM SUMLEILUG'
