We haven’t heard this banshee yet, our guests love visiting the Tomnahurich cemetery.. next to our place! For history hunters, it’s a treasure trove.. family. Ames dating back centuries, Fraser’s, Mackenzies, Ross’.. which family will you find!

Or will you hear the banshee!

Amazing views from the top of the hill over Inverness and a lovely hike too.

The Caoineag - a Highland Banshee.

The Caoineag is a female spirit in Scottish folklore and a type of Highland banshee, her name meaning "weeper". She is normally invisible and foretells death in her clan by lamenting at night at a waterfall, stream, lake, or in a glen or on a mountainside. Unlike the related death portent known as the Bean Nighe, the Caoineag cannot be approached, questioned or made to grant wishes.

The Scottish folklorist Alexander Carmichael stated that she foretells the death of those slain in battle, and that her mourning and weeping cause much anxiety to parents whose sons are in the wars. Before the Massacre of Glencoe, the caoineag of the MacDonalds was heard to wail night after night. Those whose fears were roused by her keening left the glen and escaped the fate of those who remained behind. Fragments of the dirgres said to have been sung by the caoineag before the massacre were collected by Carmichael:

Little caoineachag of the sorrow
Is pouring the tears of her eyes
Weeping and wailing the fate of Clan Donald
Alas my grief that ye did not heed her cries

There is gloom and grief in the mount of mist
There is weeping and calling in the mount of mist
There is death and danger, there is maul and murder
There is blood spilling in the mount of mist
