When they went home they went to bed and when Beg got up in the morning he found the pipes outside the the door, he put them in a box and he did not think of them for a long time. He took them out and put them on him and he could play beautiful. He played all over Ireland. He was known as Beg the piper. That is how Cnoc nc Teine got its name. Its name means the Hill of the big fire.
