Mr E McIntosh Mr Alexander McRae Revd [Reverend] J. A. McLennan |
046 | This name applies to two large Stones imbedded in the soil on the west bank of the River Avon and means Avon's Grave; the following is the local tradition of these stones. Glen Avon was originally peopled by the Fingalian race; Fingal, their chief, residing among them. Fingal's wife being, on one occasion, desirous of crossing the river during the time it was in a flooded state, made the attempt to do so at the waterfall now known as the Linn of Avon, at which place the river is very narrow, in so doing she either miscalculated the distance across, or her foot slipped, as she fell into the river and was drowned. Her body was afterwards recovered and interred on the banks of the river in which she had lost her life, a large stone being erected both at the head and foot of the grave to mark the spot wherein her remains was consigned, and in commemmoration of the unhappy event, Fingal named the Glen and River after his lost wife. - Abhuinn. |
