TAIT'S TOMB, TILLICOULTRY, SCOTLAND

Tait's Tomb, meanwhile, is a rare private burial ground for the Tait family of Harviestoun Castle; its occupants, particularly Craufurd Tait, played a key role in the development of the landscape of that part of the county.
Traditionally associated with ghosts, the sighting of an apparition near Tait's Tomb has intrigued generations.
The site, erected by local landowner Craufurd Tait in the 19th century, is situated between Dollar and Tillicoultry.
When first built it stood next to the River Devon surrounded by trees but with the coming of the railway, the river was re-routed leaving the open horseshoe shaped mausoleum stranded in the middle of a marshy field. It was later blocked up to prevent vandalism.
During the long winter nights, people passing the tomb have often seen a man wearing odd clothing who on approach seems to disappear.
There does seem to be some credibility to this ghostly spectre as during World War I, a bus driver making his way past the tomb stopped to pick up a passenger. What struck him was his strange outfit, but he dismissed it as he pulled up.
The gentleman got on the bus and sat down. There was no conductress on this particular occasion so the driver started the engine and looked in his mirror to check on his passenger. He could not see him so he turned round. The bus was empty.
He checked outside but the road was deserted, the only noise coming from an owl hidden in the trees. Quickly he drove to Dollar and the safety of the lamp lights.
Mystery surrounded the events of that night, as some years before, Craufurd's son Archibald Tait the Archbishop of Canterbury, died in December 1882 in debt so his body was transported at night.
It is said an estate worker waited at the tomb for his arrival; however, the Archbishop was actually buried in Buckinghamshire.
Does the worker still await the body? Or is it Craufurd Tait, who died in 1832, and who frequently walked this road during his lifetime?
Over the years there have been many recorded sightings of ghosts at Tait's Tomb.
