Kirkmaiden place-names; recollection of a gamekeeper trapping ravens.

Jack MacQueen asks about a place-name, Several of [Craigiehit?]. [Craigiehit?] is pointed out as a field. The Misses McGaw suggest it might be Old Several. A gamekeeper lived there; Kennedy's cairn is a memorial to him. He trapped ravens for Logan Estate using gin traps.
