Summary
Tòrr an Tuirc.
Tòrr an Tuirc was the place where Diarmad killed the boar (torc-nimhe). He was asked to measure it against the bristles. One went into his foot and he lay dying. His friends brought water from the well by carrying it in their hands. There was none left when they reached Diarmad and he died. Diarmad was the progenitor of the Campbells.
