  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a road about three milers from Ferbane and there is an old legend, that there are two coaches of gold hidden in its vicinity. This road was called the old coach road and it runs from Corr to Doon, and was recently re - made. Cars can travel on it now.
    No one has ever tried to discover where the golden chariots are, but perhaps some day when I am a man I will seek for the hidden treasure.
