One of the boulders, known as ‘Pongo’ has a quote from a speech by John Macpherson, a crofter from Skye in the 1880s, painted on an overhanging side. The quote reads,

IT WOULD

BE AS EASY TO STOP

THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AS TO

STOP THE PRESENT AGITATION

UNTIL JUSTICE HAS BEEN

DONE TO THE PEOPLE

BAM-BAM

The quote was painted on the boulder during the 1979 Scottish referendum.
