  2. Another Fairy Tale

    Share Share Post
    One hallow-ever night about one hundred years ago there was a man walking home on a lonely road. He met a man on horse-back and said to him. "You are a stranger on this road?" "Yes" said the stranger "I am one of the Gentiles" "I am going to the head of Glentogher to fight the Gentiles there". The next morning the place where the fight had taken place was torn up. That place is still to be seen in Glentogher.
