- Once upon a time a farmer lived in the downland of Doon about a mile from the village of Broadford. Every morning for a week a black cow came from the direction of the lake and remained there for a time. He searched for her owner but failed to find him. Then he began to milk the cow and one day when he had her milked he saw her going into the lake and then she disappeared. He told the priest and the priest said that when he had her milked on the following morning to throw the milk after her. He did as he was told and the cow was never seen again.
