- The road leading from Ballindine to Léana was a river first and about seventy years ago it was converted into a road.
- In older times they had no flour so the people had to use wheaten bread baked on a griddle. If they had visitors they would make boxty of potatoes scraped into a very fine pulp and mixed with wheaten flour and baked between two cabbage leaved beside the fire.
