The park itself has a rich and mysterious history dating back to the 18th century.
The nearby Logie Kirk became renowned
as a haunt of the infamous Witches of Logie. Overlooking the kirk is Carly Crag or The Witches Craig, apparently this is where the Devil came to meet and cavort with his local adherents. The Devil was meant to bound about the craig in the form of a Black Dog
with red eyes, sharp teeth and a blue torch attached to his rear....
