  2. Folklore - Strange Animal - The Bó Bhán

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there was a fairy cow at the top of the Nagle mountains called "Bhó Bhán." She used to supply all the people of the locality with milk. No matter how many buckets they brought she would fill them all.
    This old woman bet that she would get a vessel that the cow could not fill. So she got a sieve and the milk ran through it. After that the cow disappeared and she was never seen again.
