| STANDING STONE [Allt-a'-chaoruinn] | Standing Stone | John McLaren Shepherd Meallgarbha Samuel McDonald Brunachan Glen Roy John McDonald Shepherd Garva Bridge |
099 | The tradition told by the natives in connection with this standing stone is to this effect. _A certain irish gentleman name Cathelus thought proper to make love to a daughter of on of the old McPhersons of Cluny. Cluny did not approve of it and gave his clan to understand that he did not. The lovers eloped and sought a temporary Asylum in a cave in Craig a Cathelus which takes its name from him. The ground was covered with snow at the time, and their foot-prints led to their discovery by the clan. The lovers heard of their approach and fled, but were overtaken at the place where the standing stone now stands. Here they murdered Cathelus by cutting his heard out, & they buried him beneath the stone. The stone appears to have been about 6 feet high when first erected, but it has been broken in halves the piece standing is about 3 feet in height, ( the fragment lies close beside the standing portion). I cannot trace any initials or other characters upon it. This occured about 200 Years ago. |
