This monument was mentioned in FT 155. I was reminded of the story when I read in Timothy Taylor’s book The Buried Soul that Myra Hindley had been photographed posing next to it. According to the article, which is lifted from The Scotsman, the “white paint is fresh, and it will remain so. A photograph taken 100 years ago shows the lettering already there. A wreath is regularly left with a card and has been for as long as anyone can remember. No-one in Dunning seems to know who is responsible…”
Does anyone know anything else about it. I’m fascinated by stories like this which imply the continuity of a particular activity over a long period of time. It reminds me of another thread somewhere about Poe’s grave.
I am prepared to be disappointed though. The Scotsman also reported a few years back on the alleged photograph of a ghost peering out of a window in Greyfriars Church in Edinburgh which, if they had bothered doing the exhaustive couple of minutes research which I did, they would have found out was in fact a bust sitting on a window ledge.
