Covenanters' gravesite on "The Martyr's Hill"

Uploader's Comments

Forty years ago, having seen an iron age fort marked on the map, I climbed the hill and looked all round the slopes where I thought it was supposed to be, but couldn't see any sign of it... When I went back down the hill I mentioned it to the old gamekeeper's widow, who said, "That's the Martyrs' Hill, with the graves of the Covenanters on it."
