On the river Dee there is a big hole about 150 yards south of Drumcar bridge - called Yon Naver's Hole. It got its name from an old tramp, who went by that nick-name. He was a filthy being and always in rags. On one occasion the people decided to give him a new suit. The condition which he had to fulfil were to undress on one bank of the river and swim through the hole, which was about 10' deep to the other bank, where the new suit was ready waiting for him.
