Clach Ossian submitted by hamish

Glacial Erratic in Perth and Kinross

This is a glacial erratic in a field off the road through The Sma' Glen. It was reputed to be the grave of the Bard Ossian. When it was moved out of the way by General Wade's road builders ' with much effort ' it is said a cavity 2ft square was found under it. This contained ashes, scraps of bone and bits of burned heather. The contents were removed with great ceremony by the local Highlanders and reburied in Glen Almond.
