    no account was he to touch Irish soil.
    Having arrived in Ireland and seeing a group of men engaged in building a church for St. Patrick, struggling to raise a big stone into position he jumped off his horse to assist.
    He forgot to spread the carpet under his feet, immediately he touched Irish soil he became a very very old man and the horse and carpet disappeared and Ossian never went back to Tir na nOge but was converted by St. Patrick and died a very holy death.
