  1. Béaloideas - The Glas gCailín

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time I heard about a cow that came to Lismulladuff and she gave a quart of milk to every one who came and milked her every night and morning. The people called her the Glas Gcailín and she stayed at the Tobar Abhog. Some of the people fought about her and they were going to kill her. She walked down the road and all the calves that she had followed her and when she came the length of the Swilly she walked into it and was drowned.
