- Robin Keane who lived at "The Tigh Mór" in Ross near Loop Head. One day he came into his kitchen and saw a maid servant stirring porridge in a slovenly way. He took the stick from her and stirred the pot after first beating her about the head with it. She ran out screaming and just then who should come in but a strange gentleman to visit Robin. They looked defiantly at one another and then the stranger took the stick from Robin and gave another stir to the porridge. "Its lucky for you that you did that" said Robin "because if you showed that you thought stirring porridge a menial task, I'd kill you before I'd allow you out to boast that you saw Robin of Ross at it"
