Summary
A story about Mac Iain Ghiorr stealing cattle in Morvern.
Some said Mac Iain Ghiorr was a Henderson. He used his boat to steal cattle. There was a saying about two-faced people: "A black side and a white side, like Mac Iain Ghiorr's boat." He visited the Laird of Ardnacross one night. He plied him with whisky and told him stories until he fell asleep. He sailed to Morvern and stole a boatload of cattle. He returned to Ardnacross and continued telling stories when the old man woke up. When Mac Iain Ghiorr was accused of stealing the cattle, the Laird of Ardnacross swore he was with him all night.
