010 | This name applies to a deep narrow glen, near Loch Thormaid, which was believed by the old inhabitants to be made by a giant with thee [three] cuts of his Spade; hence the name. It was also believed to be haunted by Ghosts, and many of the old people Still Say ''That no person ever passed through it in the night without Seeing Something a Ghost. The glen appears to have been made by a land-slip, for there is no Stream passes through it, by which it might have been worn out. The property of Sir R. Sinclair Bart [Baronet]. |
