Murder Cleugh is a rather grisly place, but not because of its aspect: in fact it's rather pretty. But as commemorated by the headstone, in 1610 Robert Lumsden - violent adulterer - stoned his young mistress Isabella Sudden to death for the heinous crime of expecting his child.For this he was eventually (and therein also lies a tale) caught, excommunicated from the church and sentenced to a whole month in prison. At least he now resides in infamy for evermore.Gorgeous spot, though.
