The Twa Phantoms - of Balgay Hill and The Law!

I must have had a precognitive moment when I wrote a previous post bemoaning the lack of supernatural legend associated with one of Dundee's premier hills:  Balgay - Too Few Ghosts.  Now I have thankfully found evidence of ghosts - albeit fictions, poetic ones - associated with Balgay Hill and its sister, the Law.  The poem appears in the possibly pseudonymous Poems and Rimes by Robin.  (It is also found in George Martin's Dundee Worthies (1934), pp. 113-118.) The poem also strongly features my favourite Dundee place - Logie Graveyard.







The best hill in the world?... Probably.
