  1. My Grandfather lived in Inistrahull Island. He remembers when he was a little boy of about seven years to see the fairies. On bright summer evenings he would hear the music of the pipes. On a park one evening he saw about twenty fairies dancing round in a ring. They used to dance till mid-night every summer's evening.
