Summary

Legend about a Christian priest cancelling out a druid's curse.

There is a well, Tobar Mòr above the Bridge of Ey, which was cursed by a druid priest. A Christian priest said that the water would come out in another spot, which it did. About 40 years ago [i.e. about 1919] a tablet was put on it.
