Atop Doon hill, in Aberfoyle, Scotland, stands such a tree, where history tells us that in 1692, the Reverend Robert Kirk, the seventh son of a seventh son, a scholar and minister of religion, predicted his own fate.

In 1926 a group of weary men and a priest had to carry a coffin along the dreadful Coffin Walk to lay the departed to rest. Along the road they find out they picked up the wrong body and make a few bad decisions thereafter.
