053 | The following regarding this Cairn is taken from the "New St. [Statistical] Account." "On the Summit of a wooded hill called Knock Navie there is a cairn named Carn na Croiche i.e. the Cairn of the gallows, The tradition connected with it is, that some men who were travelling being weary and faint with hunger, as they passed Achnacloich stopped and asked the woman who had charge of the laird's dairy for some cheese and milk to allay their hunger, offering at the same time to pay for it, She, however, refused to give it, upon which the men took it laid down money for it and went away. The woman immediately informed the laird of the circumstance, who being a man of a fierce and savage disposition Sent after the travellers, brought them back, and hanged them on the spot now marked by the Cairns which when removed, sculls and bones of a very large Size were found." This Cairn has been almost entirely removed, for building purposes, There is enough of it remaining however to mark its site. |
