    About two miles from this school there is a place called Queen Scotia's Glen it is said that Queen Scotia was buried there. Many people go to visit the place. There is a large flat stone with Ogham signs along its edge, which is believed to mark her burial place.
    She was the daughter of King Phaorah of Egypt. Her husband's name was Miled. He was killed fighting the Dedannans and she took his place and was killed also. The glen is called Gleann-Scoithín.
