87035: Marvig Landmark

A Local Landmark Many people who visit Marvig ask the significance of the painted rock by the road junction in the village. A picture of the rock even appears in an Art Gallery in Glasgow by all accounts. Painted on the rock is the legend Thuit Rob an a seo (Rob fell here). The Rob referred to is Seaman Robert Campbell. He was well known for having a dram or two and he fell and split his head on the rock then went home and fell into his bed. When he woke up his head was stuck to the pillow and after examination he was sent to the hospital but he soon signed himself out. By all accounts it was a pretty nasty gash.
