  1. An Old Abbey

    Composition.
    An old Abbey.
    There is an old abbey out in Gartan. It was Colmcille's chapel. There is a stone in this abbey which is full of water, and any person who has an ailment can be cured when they rub the water on their sores.
    When a person makes a touris they always leave a pin or a handkerchief or something else behind them. There are graves in this abbey too. There are three small windows and a very small door in the abbey. The abbey is very small too.
