Another query about this place Hob. I love the look of the place. Do you know if there's any dragon legends nearby as the word 'drake,' as y' probably know, usually derives from the word 'dragon' in old place-names. Is it an old dragon stone? I notice there's a stream running from the boulder called the Drakestone Burn, running to Harbottle village. Perhaps some dragon carvings in the church? Or am I just living in hope!? (there's no mention of the place in Screeton's 'Northumbrian Dragon Legends')
