Summary

The man who went into a fairy-hill.

There was once a wedding in Iochdar. A man went for a cask of whisky, and, on the way, entered a fairy-hill for a dance. After a short while, he came out and continued on his way. When he arrived in Iochdar, he did not recognise a house or person. An old man says that he heard his own grandfather talk of an incident when a boy going to a wedding went missing. The old man gives him some food, and with the first bite, the man disintegrates into a heap of bones.
