Cockburn's Tombe on Chapel Knowe
Cockburn's Tombe on Chapel Knowe
A chapel once stood on this tranquil knoll, known locally as Chapel Knowe or Cockburn’s Wood. By 1603 the chapel was ruined: kirk records described it as ‘altogether down and equal with the earth.’ It is not clear whether the grave slab was ploughed up in a local field, or found within the chapel site, but it was pieced together and erected here in 1841.
