Summary
The fate that befell Goraidh and MacLaine of Lochbuie.
One of MacLaine of Lochbuie's ghillies, Goraidh, got his daughter pregnant. When MacLaine heard about this he ordered that he be castrated. Goraidh took MacLaine's young son to a cliff top known as Bìdean Ghoraidh. MacLaine was willing to do anything to get his son back. Goraidh asked that MacLaine should suffer the same fate as he had. Afterwards Goraidh asked him where the pain was, but he didn't give the right answer. Eventually MacLaine had to be castrated and when Goraidh got the answer he wanted he jumped off the cliff with the boy.
People are afraid of the place. The contributor heard the story from a neighbour.
