Folklore & legend

The Wife of Laggan and the Kirkyard of Dalarossie

Dalarossie kirkyard, Strathdearn, near Moy and Tomatin

Traditional; recorded 1900

Forsyth gives the title and the places but not the plot, so this record cannot say what the legend tells. It is included because it shows a tale known in more than one part of the north having been fixed to a Strathdearn kirkyard.

The coordinates are approximate for the Dalarossie area.
