| GEORDIE'S CAIRN | Geordie's Cairn Geordie's Cairn Geordie's Cairn Geordie's Cairn Geordie's Cairn Geordie's Cairn Geordie's Cairn |
John Wilson Esqr Robert Baird David Baird George McMorran William McGuffack Thomas McMorran John Frazer |
050.00 | This name applies to the remains of what was once a large cairn, the tradition in the neighbourhood is very vague about this, some state that one of the Covenanters was put to death by being rolled from the top of Tomont Hill in a burning tar barrel and the Cairn marks the spot where the barrel stopped; others state, that a man named Geordie was burnt here for committing an unnatural crime. David Baird states that when the cairn was pulled down in 1848 some Charred wood was found at the bottom but no bones, the Cairn contained about 100 cart loads of Stones which were taken to make stone fences, a small Cairn built by the Shepherds now marks the place. |
