My friend and I were up Cuff Hill this morning. (25/01/2021). We followed the path between the beech trees, but the area is overgrown with the evergreens and sadly we were unable to find the graves.
Thankyou for these very interesting uploads I heard you mention kirkleegreen and threepwood, these are in an area close to my home just south of Paisley, its is an area I've been visiting for walks a lot recently and I'm grateful for your shared knowledge
My late father was a Beith man, as were his parents and grand-parents, and generations before...he would have been fascinated by this video..thank you for posting,,,
@@rogergriffith286 regarding your other video on the mas grave for victims of 19th century disease, I remember my father telling me how as a boy in the 1940s he had explored the area - but by then it was apparently believed to be a burial pit for victims of the plague, i.e. the Black Death..
