[Situation] Near the SE [South East] corner of the parish Church.
This name applies to a common Grave or headstone in the Ch. [Church] yard of Dron & opposite the S.E. [South East] corner of the Ch. [Church]. Tradition asserts that John Welwood was a Preacher & the son of a clergyman, but that he, himself was not a regularly ordained Minister, although it is said he had had a "Call"; at, and before the time of his death he was preaching in & about Perth but after his death the magistrates of that city would not (probably dare not) permit his remains to be interred in consecrated ground within their jurisdiction. Some of his friends, in this dilemma, took his body thence & brought it to Dron, where however the Minister of that parish would not allow his remains to pass the gate of his Ch. [Church]. Wellwood's friends therefore took the body over the wall & buried it in one Corner of the Ch. [Church] yard. On the Grave stone John Welwood is said to have been a "Minister of the Gospel" but this

Rocking Stone |
Revd [Reverend] Mr. Goodall Dron
Mr. Martin Schoolmaster Dron |
110 |
[Situation] On the S. [South] western side of Balmanno Hill near the parish boundary.
This name applies to a large Whinstone Bowlder which, apparently by nature, has got poised in a state of equilibrium on a very small concavity of an other rock underneath, this concavity or pivot is so nicely formed for the end of the boulder and the centre of gravity of the latter falls so truly in that the stone can be easily moved or rocked (hence its name) slightly from side to side. The Rocking Stone appears to be about 4 feet high at one end & 3 ft. [feet] at the other and rests on its Pivot in a slanting position, the weight of the boulder is probably 2 Tons, it is situated towards the S. [South] West end of Balmanno Hill.
