012.11 | " On the bank of the Calder is a cave which is said to have been a hiding place in troublous times." Chalmer's Caledonia "Upon the north bank of the Calder, in the middle of the steep rock upon which the house of Cleland stands, is a large natural cave, which has been partly improved by art, capable of holding 40 or 50 men, and of difficult access. The entry was secured by a door and an iron gate fixed in the solid rock. The fireplace, and part of the chimney and floor, still remain. The tradition is, that it was used as a place of concealment in the troublesome times of the country, as far back as the gallant patriot Sir William Wallace, - perhaps by the hero himself, and his trusty band; also during the violent feuds between the house of Cleland and Lauchope; and especially in the convulsions of this country under the Charles's." Fullarton's Gazetteer. |
