  1. An Gobán Saor

    Share Share Post
    Always the old men told stories about An Gobán Saor .
    I have since come on the same stories in “Gr??? Na Gaedheul” and other books – the same word for word – so no use in writing them here.
    They told about:
    His building the house in Scotland and sending home the King’s son for the forgotten tool.
    His son’s choice of a wife in the girl who gave him the ??? and the price of it. Indeed there were many but all are in books
