Bruligarth

[Guest Anonymous]

This is a good story, and goes something like this.

 

If you walk round the coast to Uyea from Sandvoe you will come past an old abandoned croft called Bruligarth. This croft was once inhabited by an old woman (i did used to know her name). Two lads called past one day and found her dead. Seeing an opportunity to make a quick buck they tried to steal the rings off her fingers. The only problem was they couldn't get them off, so they decided to cut off her fingers. Her ghost has been seen on several occasions roaming the hills looking for her fingers, particularly around the loch of Pettawater.

 

True story apparently.
