Full Description
Letter received from John Farquhar Munro MSP on 25/8/99 states
'I have been asked to bring the Highland Council's attention to the Historic site of the 'Glenmoriston Footprints'.
The folklore of the glen records the event. When a visiting preacher of the Gospel - on being questioned as to the credibility of his sermon - stated as proof of his truthfulness and divine support that the spot on which he stood would forever show the imprint of his feet.
The 'Footprints' have remained and are often visited but the site is not easily found although they are within 50 metres of the main road.
Perhaps a joint effort could be promoted to have a sign erected and bring the site into a user-friendly condfition.
I understand the eminent preacher was a Finlay Munro, so I should probably declare and interest!!'
This site was added to the SMR by Karen Clerk in 1997 but I am unable to track down the source of her information.
