Hi Muff, I have been on holiday and may have missed some of this thread. I have photos of both the cairn on the roadside above the Beef Tub and the gravestone in Moffat graveyard. DGFHS have a copy of a Newspaper article on this tragedy written around the time. The article is very critical of the Royal Mail for the way they treated their coach drivers and guards over late delivery of the mails. The mail coach, loaded with passengers, set off in a terrible snow storm and hardly left Moffat before it stuck in the drifts. Help was summoned and all the passengers were returned safely to town. Driver and the guard, afraid of delivering the mails late in Edinburgh and the possibly of being being fired for lack of diligence with the service, unhitched a horse and set off with the mail bags intending to reach the Crook Inn. They thought their efforts would be recognised and their jobs would be safe. They got lost in the storm and both perished. You will be able to get copies of the photographs and the article when you visit the Centre. Cheers, Sandy
