NO12NE 29 c. 19 26.
On the western slopes of the Shandrie Hill beside what is said to have been an old bridle path leading from Fingask to Perth, is a grassy mound lying east and west in the shape of a grave. Formerly a large plain stone lay at the head of the grave but this was removed for use as a straining post for a wire fence. Traditionally associated with the burial of a plague victim, it is said that the grave has been opened, but so far as is known nothing has ever been found. (Shandrie Hill: name not on OS maps; Shanry is a farm at NO 203 268)
