Folklore tells a tale of three witches/wise old women from Campsie, Strathblane and Balderenock, who had a bet to see which of them could carry the heaviest stone in their apron. Two placed their stones side by side, the third ‘topped’ them by placing her stone on top of the other two. Photo taken in 2011
