Fionn & I back home in Dromintee, South Armagh. Here we are standing on Fionn MacCool’s rock in the lake at the peak of Slieve Gullion, this lake belongs to the wise eternal trickster and shapeshifter Calliagh Berra.

This is the story of Fionn Mac Cumhaill (or Finn McCool) of the Fianna warriors and his wolfhound Bran. One fine spring day Fionn walked up the heather covered slopes of Slieve Gullion to discover the lake near the summit, as he got there he heard a beautiful young lady sobbing on the water’s edge. Being a gentleman he enquired as to why she was crying; to which she replied that she had dropped her golden ring in the bottomless lake. Without a moment’s hesitation Fionn ripped off his shirt and dived in, swam down until he found the ring, grabbed it and returned to the top only to find an old hag laughing, the Calliagh Berra. The witch had tricked Fionn and he fell out on the lake’s shore as an old withered man. When Fionn came down the mountain, no-one recognised him, not even the Fianna! However, when his trustworthy Irish Hounds smelled the old man they knew that he was their Master. Fionn, the Fianna, and the hounds forced the Calliagh Berra to restore Fionn to his youth, but it is said that his hair remained white like an old man’s for the rest of his life, and that his fate is said to befall anyone who bathes in the lake to this very day. Are you brave enough to dip your feet in the Calliagh Berra’s lake?
