hearsay:- |
In the medieval period the villagers were required to perform a service of seawake,
or sea watch. They had to light a beacon fire which could be seen for miles around,
and across the Solway Firth. |
|||
In the 17th century there used to be a regular horse race, from Craggs to Moota Hill.
The end of the course was very steep, horses had to walk it. |
||||
Not far from the village is the Jockey Stone, believed to be a glacial erratic. |
