29/07/2016 - Loch Nighean Dhughaill - This loch is next to Loch Nam Ban Mora and again has folklore attached to its name -
TMA eds, if this photo is not appropriate here please move or delete, I won't sulk too much :-)
A sad tale lies behind the name of this loch. It translates to the Loch of Dugald’s daughter. The local girl fell victim to a dreaded Each Uisge (a water-horse) that had taken human form to woo her. Too late she noticed the water plants in his hair and realised his true identity. He snatched her back and dragged her into the loch, never to be seen again.
