Excerpt from Folk and Hero Tales
In the year 1890, my friend, the Reverend James MacDougall, of Duror, Ballachulish, generously made over to me his fine collection of "Folk-lore Tales," taken down by him from the lips of the narrator, whose whole stock came from what he had orally received in childhood, and from no other source.
With indefatigable patience, Mr. MacDougall has rescued these Tales herein given.
They are a splendid contribution to the folklore of the Western Highlands, and second to none in picturesque and graphic description of events herein detailed.
