Whilst the workmen engaged in repairing the dykes round Calwood, near Coshieville, were so employed last week, one of them accidentally came on an earthen jar in the old dyke, filled with money. This is supposed to be one of those treasures which Donuch Mhor am Phiabhur–“Muckle Duncan the Piper”–a harmless character who used to travel through the Highlands, was known to have deposited in many places. Duncan was in the habit of receiving alms from high and low, and then hiding them, and forgetting where he had put them.
Inverness Courier, November 13th, 1844.
Those dykes are still there…
