Summary

Eonachan a' Chinn Bhig and the MacLeans.

It is said that Eonachan a' Chinn Bhig is seen at the death of any MacLean of Lochbuie; he rides a horse, and half of his head is missing. He was a Lochbuie MacLean himself and was killed by MacLean of Duart. There were some Lochbuie MacLeans in Jura until fifteen years ago [i.e. 1950s]; they used to see him.
