- A giant lived on the top of Croghan and another on Knockaroe over four miles apart. They very often exchanged pipes!Saint Patrick came from Co. Tyrone into Mulrine's Bridge (about half a mile west of Lifford) and turned back when he heard of St. Colmcille being in Co. Donegal. The Danes made beer out of heather. The "Wee-Folk" were fallen angels. Those that fell on the earth were "wee-folk". Those that fell into the sea were mermaids. They were supposed to get back to heaven after a certain time and that is the reason they are not to be seen anymore. They need the top pickle of the corn to make meal.
