“Thomas and James Monaghan dreamt three nights in succession that there was a crock of gold...”
Thomas and James Monaghan dreamt three nights in succession that there was a crock of gold under a lone bush in Doon Fort and that there was a fairy and two dogs watching it and they were told to start digging at twelve o'clock the following night and dig down till they came to a large flag of stone and so they did and when they turned it they saw a fairy woman standing beside the gold and many other fairies sitting on little stools making little shoes. The fairy that was in charge of the gold called the dogs and the men left. The landmark is there yet.
