    Speicin; it is on a height on the mountain and there is a rock on top of it. Long ago people did not care as much about land as they do now, if there was any strange persons going around long ago the people would give them a garden and they would build a little house on it for them selves and when they would go away the field would be called after them and that is the way some of the gardens got their names.
