  1. Story. 18. 2 '38
    There is a hill about four miles from my house and the name of it is Binn Righe. Long ago a big eel rolled out of the lake which is on the top of the hill and he never stopped until he rolled into the sea.
    His track is to be seen on the yet. The track is easily known because no green grass ever grew where the eel rolled.
