A long time ago, a band of Scottish raiders arrived in Tanum, and travelled into the Bullarebygden.
On their way back to the shore, they were attacked several times, the first time around the church of Tanum. The survivors fled to the coast, and at Prästmyren, one of the chiefs were buried in Valbrets Grav. The last fight was here at Greby, where the rest of the raiders were killed and buried.
