Eppiestane EP by Letters From Mouse

The Eppiestane is a local landmark. Basically a huge boulder that sits in the flow of the local stream which is called the White Burn. The name comes from a story that a local shepherdess called Euphemia (Eppie) used to stand next to the stone while watching her sheep.

Eppie’s Stane is not marked or named on any map, but seems to have borne the name before 1910 when John Gray published “Eppie Gray, or the tale of Eppie’s Stane”, a rambling romantic poem in broad Scots in which Eppie tended her sheep “while birdies sang on bank and brae”.
