I've a bitty local folklore to do with CairnPapple near Bathgate.
I don't want to register with the Modern Antiquarian cos then I'd never get away from this PC, but if someone else wants to post it there feel free.

When you're on Cairn Papple at night you are supposed to be able to hear the Clinking Stone, a single stone set thereabouts. Legend has it a wizard imprisioned a warrior in this stone, and the clinking is him trying to cut his way out with a sword.
