- In this district some people hang out a handkerchief on the Eve of St Bridhets Day and bring it an the following morning. Then it is kept for the whole year and is supposed to be a cure for a headache.
It is regarded unlucky to remove from one house to another on Monday, as it is supposed to be an omen of continual removing.
