    Cullen Forge
    The folowing story is about Cullen forge. There was once a forge in Cullen and a girl named Gobnait used to go to the forge for fire to light her own fire at home. She had no means of taking it but in her apron. One day the smith was admiring her lovely feet. While he was talking to her the fire burned its way through the apron and fell on her feet and burned them. Then she cursed the forge and from that day to this there was never a forge in Cullen.
