Rudolf Hess + Deils/Devils Wood, Eaglesham- ancient cairn haunted by a Templar Treasure Legend?

Rolling of the Stones by Eileen McGann from Heritage CD - Greentrax Recordings Ltd "Another local legend is that the Knights buried treasure in the Deil's Wood in Eaglesham and then spread stories among the local people of ghosts and ghouls inhabiting the spot to put off would be treasure hunters. Their plan didn't quite work as the laird's son tried to dig for treasure at the turn of the century. http://www.portaltothepast.co.uk/arti... "If you wish to see it before your eyes have no fixed thoughts for or against it. Seng-t’san (d. AD 606) This quote from Harry Bell’s Glasgow’s Secret Geometry serves as my compass. In brilliant low autumn sunshine I make the journey to the De’il’s Plantin, the Devil’s Plantation, or as it’s rather more prosaically known, Bonnyton Mound, off the Humbie Road, roughly seven miles south of the city between Newton Mearns and Eaglesham. I take with me: a flask of coffee, a high-definition video camera and a 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey map. After months of musing, reading and procrastinating, finally I’m on a pilgrimage. The Devil’s Plantation is a mound, a tree-topped tumulus – beeches mainly – that to my eyes don’t look older than say, 50, maybe 70 years. What was here before, I wonder? Who was here before? Are there really dead people under my feet? Even Harry can’t tell me how the place acquired its name. Researching, all I’ve come up with is a couple of historical references, a photo on Flickr showing a likeness of Satan himself in a cloud formation taken at the site (at midnight) and an unsubstantiated claim that the site is haunted. Not much to go on, or so I thought. Then I had a huge piece of luck. Shortly after it was announced that I was creating a work based on retracing the ancient paths of Glasgow, I received an email from Grahame Gardner from The Geomancy Group. A few months ago Grahame very generously forwarded me a Google Earth file listing all of Harry’s sites (plus a few of his own) from the Glasgow Network of Aligned Sites and also Harry’s Forgotten Footsteps, a wider network of alignments across Scotland. After a bit of jiggery pokery, I managed – with excitement – to open the file and there they were, all laid out. I was glued to the screen for days afterwards. Sooner or later though I knew I had to get out in the field and get my hands dirty. http://www.devilsplantation.co.uk/blo... http://www.devilsplantation.co.uk/blo...
