One evening a young girl of this locality took a walk down towards the river Funcheon. Under the shade of a hawthorn bush in a quiet corner she saw a little man with a red cap. Not realising that it was probably a leprocaun she spoke to him and as soon as she did so he disappeared.
This happened about 45 years ago.
