Summary
The man who was a year inside a fairy knoll.
Two men carrying two pitchers of whisky for the New Year went by a fairy knoll. They heard the most beautiful music that they had ever heard. One of them went in and the knoll closed behind him. The other went home. There was no sign of the other man so he went to seek advice. He was told to go back in a year's time to the very same place. He did this and found the other man still dancing.
Followed by a conversation about fairy lovers, and how the MacCrimmon pipers received their gift of music from the fairies.
