- Long ago two brothers who lived in Kilkinnihan were one day ploughing in a top field. When dinner time came they were getting hungry and the dinner was not coming. As they were passing close to the lios with "a scrape" (sgríob) one of the men said jokingly " A bhean a' leasa cuir ár ndinnéar amach chugainn." When they were coming back the dinner was laid on a linen cloth. The man that spoke for the dinner got a fright and he would not eat anything. The brother ate it. The man that asked it died when he went home.
