AT DUNSTAFFNAGE CASTLE.
This castle (Dùn-sta’innis), once a seat of the kings of Scotland, was haunted by a woman known as theSianag(or Elle-maid) of Dunstaffnage. She broke into outcries of joy or sorrow (mulad no aighear), according as a happy or unfortunate event was to befall the inmates. A stranger, who accompanied one of the servants to the castle and remained there that night, had his bedclothes twice pulled off by her, and heardher all night walking through the room and in the adjoining passages. Her footsteps were heavy like those of a man.
