In the early 1800s, there was a young girl that stayed nearby. She had been playing in the normally shallow and placid waters of the River Falloch, which runs just behind The Drovers Inn.
 
On this fateful day, earlier, there had been a lot of rainfall, so the river had swelled, and had stronger undercurrents. Tragically, the young girl got swept away and by the time that anyone noticed she was gone, she had perished in the icey waters.
 
A search party made up of her family, local farmers, and cattle drovers eventually found her just downstream, but it was too late to save her. They carried her lifeless body to The Drovers Inn, and laid her on the bed of room 6. There she stayed while her family grieved, and prepared the burial ground in the nearby graveyard.
 
It is said that in the 200 years that have past since that tragic occurrence, many guests that have slept in room 6, have been woken through the night having felt a small icey cold and wet body next to them in bed.
