| notes:- |
Once, according to Mrs Linton:- |
|
| "Every summer and autumn hundreds of hives are brought and set up on Revelin, for the
bees to get strength and sustenance before winter time comes. Carts come in the early
morning laden with beehives, and 'a vast o' good honey gets shakt oot on t' road'.
A certain wall on the mountain is called Bee Wall End." |
