  2. An Old Well

    Share Share Post
    Up in Hilton big field which is beside Cush there is a lone bush. At this bush there was a well and in olden days the people used to go there to get cured of jaundice. It was always said that there was a thorn in the well. Woods, a steward who was in Hilton closed it up. He shouldn't have done that. I heard this from Bob Morgan of Corrachan. (The Woods here referred to was steward of Hilton during the minority of the present (1938) owner's grandfather. On the coming of age to his master he left. He was succeeded by Mooney who died under suspicious circumstances later in his master's office.
