| Legend |
"According to the stories of superstition Eoghan a Chin Bhig is still going about in this world. He is allways present when any of the Lochbuie family is in distress. He also very frequently attends funerals of those who belong to that family. He wears his old cloak about him summer and winter, and always carries his trusty sword with him. He is still without his head. He rides a dun horse, the same horse on which he rode to Glen Cainnir, the place in which the battle in which he fell was fought. His horse has no equall in Arabia, or anywhere else. He travels over sea and land with equal ferosity. Ewen does not confine his wanderings to Scotland. He has been frequently in Ireland, Spain, and other countries. We are told that the cause of his restlessness is that "he fell fasting, his cross and worthless wife having given him no breakfast on the morning on which he left home for Glen Cainnir""
