- Long ago the people used to go on horse-back to the chapel to get married. The bride sat cúlóg behind the best man going to the chapel and she sat cúlóg behind the bride-groom coming home.
All the horses used to have a race to the chapel to see which of them would be the first and they had the same canter going home.
