In the olden days, when there used to be a bank in Drum, a man who had been at a fair ran into the bank, snatched up a sack of gold, and before anyone could stop him he made off down the "Pump Brae" with it. When he found out that he was being pursued he threw the bag of gold into Dr. Moore's field, where the new labourer's cottages have been built, and it has never been found.
In Baragh bog there is a foal's skin full of gold coins, but it has never been found, although some people know where it was buried.
