The Mennock Hills and its Weasel Funerals
In the 1930s legend has it that a night watchman at the smelt mills of Wanlockhead watched several weasels remove a dead weasel and carry it off. Intrigued, he investigated with another local and they found the body of the freshly buried weasel and along side it the 'graves' of several other weasels. Some already skeletal. The removal of a dead weasel has been seen in more recent times by a driver on the Mennock Pass. he noticed a 'road kill' weasel being carried off by other weasels. It was only talking about it afterwards that he was told the story of the 1930s incident....
