- There is a blessed well in Turlogh.
A lot of people go every year to it.
Once a man caught a trout in the well and he put it on a tongs to roast. The man thought it was dead. When he was just leaving it on the tongs to roast it hopped off. The man brought it to the well again. The tract of the burn is on the side of the trout yet. That trout must be as old as the hills.
