Folklore (continued)
“St Columcille was born in Gartan in 521. In Gartan there are two beautiful lakes Upper Lough Gartan and Lower Lough Gartan.”
(continued from previous page)and from that to this a salmon was never caught in the Upper Lough.
It is said that if a salmon is put into the Upper Lough a race horse could not catch it, it goes at such a rate, to get out of it again.
