At the fight at Grisipol, the Grizzly Lad (_Gille Riabhach_) was hard pressed by MacNeill’s body servant, who was armed with a battle-axe. On the margin of the stream, as the axe was raised to strike down, he leaped backwards, and upwards, across the stream, and the place of the leap is still known as the ‘Grizzly Lad’s leap’ (_Leum a’ Ghille Riabhaich_). The axe went into the ground, and before MacNeill’s man could defend himself the Grizzly Lad (_Gille Riabhach_) jumped back and threw off his head. Stout John (_Iain Garbh_) himself was hard pressed by MacNeill, and driven to the beach. The Grizzly Lad (_Gille Riabhach_) came to his rescue. MacNeill’s wife cried out to Stout John (_Iain Garbh_) her son by her first marriage, that his enemies were coming behind him. The Grizzly Lad (_Gille Riabhach_) called out to him to watch his enemies in front, and he would watch those behind. MacNeill and his men were killed. The Grizzly Lad (_Gille Riabhach_) said he would take to flight and pretend to be one of the MacNeills, of whom another party was coming to the rescue from Breacacha. He fled and made signals to the MacNeills to fly. They fled to a cave near the Hidden Anchorage (_Acarsaid fhalaich_) where their bones are still to be seen. When Stout John (_Iain Garbh_) entered Grisipol house, his mother stood before him with a child, his half brother, on her shoulder. She told him to look at his young brother smiling at him. Stout John (_Iain Garbh_) was for sparing the infant but the Grizzly Lad (_Gille Riabhach_) warned him, the child if spared to come of age would avenge his father’s death, and he himself stabbed the infant with his dirk on his mother’s shoulder. BROWNS OF TIREE. (_Clann-a-Bhruthain_). The Browns of Tiree at the present day are called _Brunaich_, sing. _Brunach_, evidently a word not of native origin, and likely an adaptation of the English Brown. Brown as the name of a colour is an English word but not Gaelic, the Gaelic for it being _donn_, hence as a clan name many affirm that the Brown of the present day is a corruption or modification of _Bruthainn_ certainly the older name, and till very recently, the name given to a sept or portion of the Browns. There are also many who maintain that the oldest form of all is _Mac-’ill-duinn_. Other explanations are also put forward in behalf of the origin of the name, but none of them are satisfactorily conclusive. The following story of how the Browns came first to Tiree is a tradition as like to be true as any other. It was heard from a native of the island, well acquainted with the traditions of his countrymen.
