“There was once a griddle in the Glen.”
There was once a griddle in the Glen. This griddle was bigger than any griddle. One day a girl bought this griddle for a lock of her hair. This griddle baked bread for all the people in the Glen. It would not bake unless they said a prayer over it. This griddle is supposed to be at Mrs. C. Harfords now. Where the Baushla is now, there once was an old road and this road lead to Flanagan's (White House) which is now occupied by Miss Mary Butterly and Miss Bridie Butterly The present Skryne road was only a boreen then and it did not lead to anywhere. The Baushla now runs where this old road formerly was. It is over two hundred years since that road was there.(continues on next page) - Collector
