Meigle - Perthshire
The Legend of Queen Guinevere
Meigle is in mid-Scotland north of Perth.
In Meigle churchyard, there is a plaque identifying a mound as "Vanora's Mound,"
the grave of Guinevere.
Local legend at Meigle maintains that Guinevere made her way to Scotland
after the death of King Arthur and changed her name to
Vanora or Ganore (meaning wanderer). Although she changed her name,
she did not change her lustful ways.
The Meigle townsfolk disliked her morals and killed her.
Another legend, related by Boece,
has her abducted
(not unwillingly) by Mordred,
who takes her to Barry Hill
near the town of Alyth.
Arthur takes his wife back and has her torn apart by wild horses as punishment for her adultery. |
