A woman by the name of Jean Johnston gave the contributor a luck stone that belonged to her Traveller family, as a token of gratitude for the kindness shown to her by both him and his father. The stone was a piece of flint with a hole through it. The contributor relates that Coinneach Odhar, the Brahan Seer, used a similar stone to predict the future.
