    History Edit

  2. Story of Treasure

    Share Share Post
    "In the time of the old chapel in Rossdroit there was a lot of money left at a tree at the Church gate. Later on some one dug for the money in the night & when they would be digging a hen and chickens would appear, but whoever was digging would not go. Then something else would appear and they had to go. And the walls are there still.
