- Long ago the people round here used live in Skule Bog. The people used dig out a big hole and make rooms and a kitchen and used dug out windows in them too.
And in the night if you looked down towards the bog you would think it was a big town with all the lights.
- A long time ago there lived in Ballengseale a landlord named Craker. You would hardly ever be evict people out of their houses. And those that were evicted went to Skule bog. And according to the evictions the population of Skule bog was getting bigger and larger.
