- The boys and girls who were going on for thirty years, and left Shrove pass without getting married, were punished, in this district some years ago, by being taken to Sceilg Rock.Ten or twelve young lads, and sometimes young ladies too, disguised themselves and went about ten o'clock to the houses. They got all the offenders together and marched them off to some rock or pool a long distance away. They had to take off their boots and keep walking, one behind the other round the rock, or through the pool for hours.Sometimes these young got up to 10 shillings but to go away and leave a certain man or lady home.
