Story collected from Duncan Cameron, police officer, Tobar Mhoire/Tobermory, Muile/Isle of Mull, entitled 'Nes' [neas or stoat] telling how at Airi-miseig [Àridh Miseig], he took a spade to a stoat's den [còs] but found nothing. He had gone about a mile further on when he heard the stoat hissing at his heel and it followed him despite him throwing stones at it. He reached Bailiocar and was telling his story when the stoat was found at the door still hissing. He and Eon Carmichael went to trample it but it escaped and was not seen again. Eon said he would not sleep in case the stoat mistook him for Duncan.
