    One bird falls dead every day on the Cemetery as a result of St Marcan's curse.
    People going to St Marcan's Station must not pass by Kilbride nor see it. The Station is on August 15th. People come to it from all parts and every kind of disease may be cured.

    Lone whitethorn bushes must not be cut or interfered with.
