| MONKS RIG | Monk's Rig | J. Laing Unthank D. Alexander Esk Cottage Co. [County] Map Penicuick |
017 | A tolerably sized hill of a ridge like form upon the Pentland range and farm of Westside, upon its summit stands a rude flat stone said to have been a station erected for the worship of passing travellers marks as of two knees are Yet quite visible, it was surmounted by a cross & is called the "Monk's stone". This circumstance speaks for the origin of the name of the hill. Yet there is a tradition of it taking its name from some of General Monk's soldiers marching over it en route from Edinburgh, southwards. |
