The stone you see here is called Clach-na-Brataich-The stone of the banner.
A battle was fought on the nearby Drumashie moor between the Gaels led by Fingal,and the Norse led by Aishidh (Ashie),who was killed.Tradition suggests that this stone is where Fingals banner was raised.
There have been several sightings over the years of a ghostly battle taking place in this area with columns of soldiers and mounted men appearing on the moors near the north east of Loch Ashie.
This whole area has a reputation of being haunted,one story is told of a man on a bicycle meeting four horsemen who disappeared as they rode through him.Another man and his wife had an experience in broad daylight,of slowing down where they had seen an approaching car,the man signalled with his lights that he was pulling in to a passing place only to find the road ahead empty!!!.I had a shiver run down my spine when i placed this cache,come and see what you think.
This is a roadside cache with parking nearby.
Happy hunting Ujax and Joel.
