Local legend says that its inhabitant, Sir James Mackenzie, a local businessman and gambler, sold his soul to the Devil in a poker game and promised Old Nick to surrender his soul when he had played his last hand. So after his death he was placed inside the pyramid sitting in a chair holding his last cards in order to cheat the Devil.
