Anne T couldn't find Packman's Grave, Whiteadder Reservoir: Despite having the grid reference, we were unable to find anything at this site, which was disappointing. We did find something remarkably similar at NT 62814 64541 - five stones in a kite-;ike shape, not far to the south west of the Mayshield Stone Setting.

Stone Row / Alignment in East Lothian

This setting of small stones, which lie to the west of Whiteadder Reservoir, is recorded as Canmore ID 57532, which describes this site as: "on the muir (moorland) in the fork of the roads from Priestlaw to Garvald and Gifford, at an elevation of 900 feet above sea-level, are five stones, two pointed and set on end, each 1 foot 7 inches high, and three flat, which enclose a kite-shaped area 9 feet 3 inches in length by 4 feet 6 inches in breadth. This place is known as 'The Packmans's Grave'; a packman who is said to have been murdered by an innkeeper at Danskine and traditionally said to have been buried here."
