Strange goings on at Sheriffmuir!
15th June 2010

Late in May around 50 people gathered at Sheriffmuir from all around the world. Led by a lady from Texas, they were concerned for the spirits of a troop of ghostly cavalrymen who had, reportedly, been seen riding on the moor. They set up two large tepees by the Gathering Stone and spent two nights praying for the release of the souls of the horsemen. Then they packed away their tepees and headed for Iceland on another mission.
Many local folk have their own beliefs regarding spirits on the moor.
It has to be said that the visitors left their campsite in spotless condition, unlike many who spend a night on the moor. Their litter was all bagged and carried away and a supply of logs was chopped and left for future visitors to use.
