051 | The stones belonging to this Cairn, have been removed & corn now grows on its site. It was said to take its name from one or two large Cairns & several small Cairns scattered over the moor such as indicate an old battle field, but these cairns have all disappeared; and the story went that this was the intended site of the church of Auchindoir; that the stones were the materials brought for the building and that the site had been marked off by four rods stuck up at the four corners: But that St. Mary or some of her devotees knew better things & had determined that the Priest serving at her altar should be provided with better glebe than that Knowe could afford, & that therefore these rods were found to have been mysteriously if not miraculously to have removed night after night to another place till the builders had to submit to her choice and pleasure, and erect the church, where its ruins now stand, near to Craig Castle. |
