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.
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."
