Summary

The burial place of St Fillan.

When St Fillan was died, his remains were brought back by men from Strathfillan and Killin. The burial party stopped to rest, laying the coffin on a stone. An argument broke out as to where he should be buried. When the men turned around, the coffin had disappeared. The stone was later broken up to build a road.
