Sand Buried Ruin of Khotan 36 - Road to Mr. Macartney's house, with city wall - that is Kashgar wall - unfortunatelyh Stein was well advised not to advertise his skills and mission by attempting to survey the Kashgar fortifications (much to my disappointment) And now all has been destroyed by modern city planning. Mr Macartney was the Indian government resident in Kashgar and a source of critical support for all Stein's expeditions.
