An interesting tale in my family concerns a suicide victim whose corpse was buried in Durisdeer churchyard in 1780. Local superstition denied Christian burial to these unfortunates and the body had been secretly disinterred and tumbled over the churchyard wall. Grizel Rae(Maxwell), landlady of the nearby Durisdeer Inn and Farm, provided a horse to drag a hurdle to the top of the hill to 'where two counties marched and three lairds lands met' where the body was buried.

A postscript to the story is that a relative from another branch of the family in Wanlockhead, an apprentice to a doctor, heard of the burial and exhumed the body for dissection.

Well Hill is the most likely spot for these grizzly events.
