Summary

The man who danced with the fairies.

Two men from Sleat, Angus and Donald, went to the Black Isle to buy whisky. One night, whilst passing through Glensheil, they heard music emanating from a hole in the ground. There, they discovered the fairies, dancing and making merry. Angus joined them, but Donald went home. When he told what had happened, they were suspicious, and reckoned that he had murdered his friend. A year later, he went back and found Angus still dancing. Angus felt that only a day had passed.
