- St. Culumhóg and St Eoghan were travelling together one day. They got thirsty and were looking for water to drink and they could not get anything but salt-water. They stopped at Borrigone and where they stood, suddenly a spring burst forth and they got a drink, and ever since any person that has disease if they drink some of water will be cured.

- About nine years ago there was a man in Glin who used to swim across to Clare every day and carry a match with him and light a fire. He went across one stormy day and he never returned. He got drowned. He was found down below Tarbert Island about three weeks afterwards. His name was Mick Geogehan.
