According to legend, Merlin lies buried at the root of a thorn tree
in a field beside the village of Drumelzier near the River Tweed, in the
south of Scotland. The story goes that during a battle he had a vision
that he would die a triple death that day. He asked St. Kentigern to give
him the sacrament. Later that day he was seized by his enemies who beat
him with stones and clubs, threw him in the river and stabbed him with
a wooden stake. Hence the triple death by beating, drowning and stabbing.
When Tweed and Powsail meet at Merlin's grave
This came true in 1603, when the river Tweed overflowed its banks and met the river Powsail at the site of Merlin's Grave -- on the very same day that the crowns of Scotland and England were first united under James VI of Scotland (James I of England). The ruins of this Neolithic gallery grave are home to Broceliande's oldest resident. Here lies Merlin the Enchanter ~ pagan druid and friend and advisor to Arthur. The stones are cracked and the remains have been savaged by fools in search of buried faerie gold. Today the aged holly tree that gives shade to Merlin's Tomb is hung with offerings of flowers and woven twigs, ribbons and tiny toys. Stuffed in the cracks on the rock are little scraps of paper ~ wishes asked of a sleeping Wizard.
