Devil's Cauldron, an ancient circular structure in Kingarth parish, Isle of Bute, a little W of the head of Kilchattan Bay, and 7 miles S of Rothesay. It is situated within a grove, not far from the ruins of St Blane's Chapel, of which it was an appendage and with which it probably communicated by a subterranean passage. It consists of a dry-stone wall, 10 feet thick and 7 ½ feet high, enclosing a space 30 feet in diameter, with an entrance from the E; and it is said to have been used, in pre-Reformation times, as a place of penance.
