Loch Builg (Crannog) — Folklore |
Besides the loch itself there are several tarns, one of which rejoices in the name, Lochan Ora, "the golden lochlet." Here, unless tradition is false, lies a bull's hide, with many golden pieces, dropped into the tarn when the enemy pressed too closely.In 'A Highland Tramp' by Alex Inkson McConnochie, in the Leeds Mercury, 21st May 1907. I surely can't help thinking of people symbolically depositing valuable articles in water in prehistory. I spotted Kelly Gillikin Schoueri's thesis all about the topic in Scotland. Sounds like a mini loch next to your own loch with crannog might be the perfect (liminal yet handily domestic) spot. Just speculating :) It'd be pretty crazy if folklore had handed down such a tale. |

Loch Builg (Crannog) — Fieldnotes |

27/05/2023 - Canmore has a 'probable crannog' listed at the north end of Loch Builg. We were passing on the south side so not really close to have a good look. I'm not too sure after looking at aerial photos online. Thought I'd add anyway, you never know. Might go that way next time. It's a little bit in the middle of nowhere. Nice area though. |

Bow Fiddle Rock (Natural Rock Feature) — Fieldnotes |
|
Christmas Day provided beautiful weather for a good hike, sadly our intended target was Hill of Maud / The Rinnes. However Storm Arwen had made sure the hill was impossible to climb, the road near being barely passable. We hadn't been to the Green Castle at Portknockie for a while, and its stunning natural neighbour, Bow Fiddle Rock, therefore a visit required. It might have looked calm but sea seemed pretty rough to me. Park on Patrol Road, head towards the sea and a path will be found to both sides. Head east to Bow Fiddle, a track will take you to a pebbly beach and another leads to a place where you can almost look down on to the natural arch. Apparently the rock is named because of a similarity to the tip of a fiddle (violin) bow. Personally I think whoever thought of that must have had a few drams to many! Wonderful scenery!
