Burnfoot Pool, Carlisle

The Pausayl Burn at Drumelzier

Uploader's Comments

Just before it flows into the River Tweed. According to legend, at least as old as the 15th century, the wizard Merlin was buried near here, but there is nothing to see, and nothing has ever been recorded, at the place in question. The story may have originated from the discovery of a Bronze Age cist.
