  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    A piper was coming home from a wedding late one night. When he came to the top of the hill he rested in a stone on top of the hill, he heard the bean sige. It is said that any one who ever heard the bean sige died soon after. He started to play like the bean sige he died soon after. Ever since it is called, "The Piper's Stone".
