Summary
There was a man called Fear a' Churracain Ghlais whose father told him to go after the daughter of Fear Ceann Loch Trèig. He took the galley and came to the castle of Fear Ceann Loch Trèig. This man met Fear a' Churracain Ghlais with his sword unsheathed, and infomed him that he could not marry his daughter until a number of feats had been accomplished. He had to kill three giants, a big black bull, and a red witch. Fear a' Churracain Ghlais was successful and ended up marrying the girl he was after. A great banquet was held afterwards.
