Near the summit of the B934 Muckart-Dunning road (to the immediate north of where the road crosses the Corb Glen) is a memorial to one Tom Black. The monument (sadly subject to various attempts of grafitti by the moron element) reads:
To the memory of
TOM BLACK
A fine skier and staunch member
who died on the snow slopes above
28th February 1963
--------------------------------
The Cairn was erected as a mark of deep
respect by his fellow members of the
Dunfermline & district ski club
With the kind permission of
Gilbert Hepburn of Dunning
I believe that he was cross country skiing, presumably on the wonderful terrain of Little Law, Corb Law, Green Law, Sims Hill and Johns Hill. Does anyone have any knowledge or recollection of the incident?
