The Druid's Graves, Cuff Hill, Beith

[@dougwilkes1641]

My friend and I were up Cuff Hill this morning. (25/01/2021). We followed the path between the beech trees, but the area is overgrown with the evergreens and sadly we were unable to find the graves.

Sorry to hear that. It has changed so much 'thanks' to the afforestation!!

Thankyou for these very interesting uploads I heard you mention kirkleegreen and threepwood, these are in an area close to my home just south of Paisley, its is an area I've been visiting for walks a lot recently and I'm grateful for your shared knowledge

My late father was a Beith man, as were his parents and grand-parents, and generations before...he would have been fascinated by this video..thank you for posting,,,

Thanks - it's a fascinating area. I am giving a talk to the Jolly Beggars Burns Club on Monday - they kindly made me an Hon.Memb.

@@rogergriffith286 regarding your other video on the mas grave for victims of 19th century disease, I remember my father telling me how as a boy in the 1940s he had explored the area - but by then it was apparently believed to be a burial pit for victims of the plague, i.e. the Black Death..
