| CREAG CHATHELUS | Creag Chathelus | John McLaren Shepherd Samuel McLaren Shepherd Samuel McDonald Brunachan Glen Roy [Reverend] A Campbell R.C.P. [Roman Catholic Priest] Laggan |
114 | A very large prominent Creag, rising on the south side of the Spey directly opposite creag Mhor; on the south side of which is a deep precipitous defile running to the distance of about half a mile from West to east, through which a small stream flows. On the north side of this stream and about half way down the declivity is a small cave formed by three large rocks, two upright and one forming the roof, the entrance to the cave is very narrow and well adapted for concealment. A tradition is told by the natives of this district of a certain irish gentleman name Cathelus who eloped with a daughter of Cluny McPherson's and hid in this cave. He was discovered, fled, captured, and was murdered about a mile from the creag on the north side of the Spey. There is a Standing-Stone over his grave. This occurred about 200 years ago. - Hence the name. |
