The incidents of this story occurred about 1596. The house of the redoubtable Angus was at _Ath na h-éilde_ (Ford of the Hind (deer)), opposite _Druim-nan-torran_ (The Ridge of Knolls), near _Sròn an t-sìthean_, Strontian, the Promontory of the Fairy Dwelling. He had a bad wife, who was continually urging him to make himself Chief of the clan, and it was at her instigation that he waylaid his nephew at Kintra. On hearing that the Chief was to be married to the daughter of Lochiel, his wife warned big Angus that he would yet be reduced to draw the peat creels (_tarruing nan cliabh mòine_) for his nephew. Angus was the first to be at Kintra, at the river, and the first to cross. The guests were assembled at Lochiel for the marriage of Donald MacDonald, when word was brought of his having been slain. Immediately the assembled guests with their followers set off to take vengeance, and, finding Big Angus’s house deserted, they tied tinder (_spong_[8]) to an arrow and set the moated house on fire. The place where Angus was slain in Morven is still called _Leac na Saighead_ (The Ledge of the Arrow), and the archer was _Iain Dubh Beag Innse-ruith_ (Little Black John of Inch-rui). Big Dugald MacDonald (_Dughal mòr MacRaonuil_), of Morar had his hand similarly fastened by an arrow to his forehead. [8] Amadon--made from a fungus. A.C. THE LAST CATTLE RAID IN TIREE. It seems to have been a kind of raid or robbery to which the island of Tiree was particularly liable. Plunderers and pirates, having chosen a suitable day when the seas about the island were at rest, and the cattle could be easily got on board the galley, or _birlinn_, carried on depredations far and wide on the island. Once the cattle were got by them on board the galley, they looked upon themselves as safe from pursuit. There are two traditions in existence of the island having been so visited, and their fate will illustrate the manner in which, in unsettled times, such expeditions were conducted. The last foray of the kind was not successful, but the cattle and sheep were collected for taking away. The people got warning in time, and the cattle-lifters had to make their escape, leaving their booty behind them.
