OK you are standing beside a fairly boring triangular field maybe 2
or 3 horses in it??
Is that all???
Have a look to the back of the field - close to the horse
trough, with the open field behind. Can you see anything there? A
short pillar maybe? With what looks like a plaque on it?
YES?
You have just found McComies Field!!!! It has taken us over a
year to find this place after being told about it - so we decided
to make it easy for everyone else
So what is McComies Field??
This is the only field, locally,(the only one we have EVER seen)
which has a stone pillar and plaque displaying a cast iron sign
plate naming the field. This plaque commemorates the deaths of the
sons of John McIntosh better known as “McCombie Mor” on 28th
January 1673, in a fight over land rights which occured in McComies
field.
