More about this scene
Lord de Soulis, who held Hermitage, met with a bizarre end. Said to be a devotee of the black arts, he was abducted by his God-fearing tenants, rolled in a sheet of lead and taken to Ninestane Rig, a stone circle beyond Whitterhope Burn. There he was put upon a fire and melted alive.
