Header: Parish of Old Monkland No.21"There is a tradition, that a certain pilgrim, in order to do penance for some sin, was obliged to carry a particular stone in this direction from Glasgow; and when he could bear it no further to build a Church at his own expense, The weary pilgrim laid down his burden at the place where the Old Monkland Church stands, and the stone is still to be seen."
