- There is a well at Loo Bridge called Tobar na Naomh. The people around the place go doing rounds to the place every year. The well is holy. There were a band of Saints going over the hill to Guagan Barra. The first saint took a drink at the well. He forgot his spectacles near the well. He thought of his spectacles when he was in Guagan Barra. He told the Saint next to him that he forgot his spectacles and he told the Saint that was next to him and they passed the word along to each other and the last saint got the spectacles near the well and carried them to Guagan Barra.
