Summary

Alcohol-induced apparition of a black dog.

Donald Munro doesn't set much store by stories about the Black Dog that was supposed to wander the shores of Loch an Ordain. Old William Pollan seemed to have a personal acquaintance with the Black Dog; Mr Munro jokes that he more or less herded the sheep with it.

Mr Munro and another contributor agree that the dog's appearances were related to what was sold in the Culag Hotel: it was only ever seen on the way back from Lochinver, not on the way there.
