Summary

A man who was left money by a relative in America hid it in a hill.

A man was left money by a relative in America. He buried it in a hill near his house, wrapped in a foal's skin. It later occurred to him that no one would know about it if anything happened to him, so he showed a neighbour the hidden place. The next time he checked, his money was gone. He told the neighbour he had more money to hide. When they went to the place, the money was returned. He didn't put any more money in, but took it all home with him. Duncan Campbell wrote a poem about it.
