A small Knowe 20 chains NE of Woo, covered with rough grass.

[R1]

On the N side of the burn of Woo, not far from the Knowe of

Stenso is a grassy mound known as Robie's Knowe, that most likely

had been a place of sepulture and there is a tradition that an

important person named Robbie was buried there. Another story is

that it was the frequent haunt of a half witted old man called

Robbie. [R2]

Robbie's Knowe, burn of Woo, between the shore and farm of

Woo. Listed under burnt mounds. [R3]
