About Rhymer's Stone

It was here that Thomas Learmont of Ercildoune, known as Thomas the Rhymer, met up with the Queen of Elfland. Daring to kiss her he was transported to Elfland for seven years.

True Thomas lay on the Huntlic Bank;
A ferlie he spied wi his ee;
And there he saw a ladye bright,
Come riding down by the Eildon tree.'
