Story about why a village in Tiree never hears a cock crow, 1901
Story about a village in Tiree [Tiriodh, Earra-Ghàidheal/Argyllshire] which never hears a cock crow because Calum Cille [St Columba] thought he would pass through the place before the cock crowed but the cock crowed as he was passing through so he made a curse that a cock would never crow there again. According to the story a cock has never crowed there since. The text has been scored through as if transcribed elsewhere.
