Supernatural goings-on in the small hours of a ruined monastery.  All in the lawless Border Reivers area between Scotland and England at Melrose,  UK where historically cutthroats and thieves have operated since medieval times and buried their ill-gotten booty wherever they can, to avoid getting caught.
