- Once upon a time St Colmcille was crossing the river Finn at a place called Corraguill Fintown. He happened to slip on a salmon and fell. He was very angry and he foretold that no salmon would cross the river until the railway would be made and until the black pig meaning the train would cross it. This came true for no salmon ever crossed the river until the railway was made.
Folklore
“Once upon a time a woman had a very cross child who cried from morning till night.”
