The entrance to this Cave is in the face of perpendicular rocks on the East side of Dura Den. The cave is not very large, and the marks of a pickaxe show it has been smaller. There are two traditions connected with it. The one told me by the minister of the parish is, that the Laird of Kemback, himself a Covenanter hid a few of his friends here; the other is that the Laird himself was hid here from the fury of the persecutors of the Covenanters. But both traditions agree in stating that the Lady of Kemback, for the Crime of Ministering to the necessities of the concealed, was hung by the hair of her head over the Bridge of Dairsie A stone with her initials marks the spot of her cruel death. |

A few yards west of the Manse are the ruins of the old Parish Church. The walls still remain entire, covered thickly with ivy. It has been a very plain building and small in size. Within the walls are the burying places of certain families. Surrounding the ruins and enclosed with a high wall is the grave yard. In it are a few old tomb stones for the most part illegible, the farthest back date is 1736, and 1627 is on the walls of the Church but whether connected with the ruins is doubtful. The burying places of the Families of Dura, Blebo Rumgally and Kemback are here. |
