Summary

Donald Shaw's mare was afflicted by the evil eye.

There was something wrong with Donald Shaw's mare one day and he told Alasdair mac Ailein about it. Alasdair thought someone had put the evil eye on it. Donald said Alasdair was the only person to have laid eyes on the mare. Alasdair told his mother to prepare a thread. Donald followed the instructions he was given and put the thread on the mare and it quickly recovered.
