    Folklore.
    The name of a certain field in our farm is Gorry Mure.It consists of a very hill with heath, ferns and rushes growing.
    It got the name Gorry Mure because there lived a man in it long ago named Martin Mure.
    The ruins of his house is there still and it is called after the name Mure.
