- (continued from previous page)There is a rock beside St. Columcilles lake and there is a trout carved on it, and it is said that this is where he roasted the trouts. He said that nobody would ever get a curlew's nest and it was so. There is nobody in the parish called after the saint. His day is not kept as a holiday.He also cursed any school teacher that would abuse one child more than the other because he said they would be going about begging before they would die. One day he went into a school and the teacher asked a question, two of the children missed it and the teacher gave two slaps to one child and none to the other, the St. cursed him and said that he would never have a day’s luck and it happened.
