Old Photograph Eppie's Stane Whitburn Scotland

Old photograph of Eppie's Stane by Whitburn in West Lothian, Scotland. The local Whitburn poet John White, born 1859, died 1943, tells a story linked to the large stone in his poem Eppie Gray or The tale of the Eppie Stane. Eppie cared for her flock of sheep in this place. John Gray seems to have been a colourful and talented character, renowned for his humorous recitations and musical performances. He was the leading light of the Whitburn Amateur Dramatic Society during the 1920s.
