  1. Many years ago some men were returning from fishing very late at night. On their way home they were stopped on the lower road below Craig na Ferry Rock by a little man whom they did not know. These men had some fish with them. The little man asked them for some fish and the men took him to be a little fairy and they gave him the fish and the fairy disappeared.
