Lewis one expresses admiration of a young fellow's vigour (tapachd) by the expression 'Bu tu fh6in an Ciuthach,' ('It's yourself that's the Ciuthach'). In the parish of Uig, in Lewis, there is an ancient fort on Borronish (i.e., borgar-nes, fort-point), near the manse of Uig, called Din a' Chiuthaich, and in the same locality a rock called Creag a' Chiuthaich. The legend connected therewith is still current in Uig, and has been written down by the Rev. Malcolm Maclennan, Edinburgh, who has kindly communicated it to me, as follows:-An uair a bha an Fheinn an Eadar-a-fhaodhail chaidh iad aon I1 a mach a shealg, agus dh' fhhg iad Fionn agus na mnathan agus a' chlann aig an tigh. Bha duine a' tkmh faisg orra ann am Boronis d' am b'ainm an Ciuthach. Tha dttn ann an sin gus an 1 an diugh ris an abrar DTin a' Chiuthaich. An uair a chuala an Ciuthach gu 'n d'fhalbh an Fh6inn gu 16ir ach Fionn agus na mnathan agus a' chlann, chaidh e far an robh e agus thoisich iad air sabaid. Bha e dol cruaidh ri Fionn agus dh' iarr e d&il bheag air a' Chiuthach gus an deanadh e tiomnadh do bhalachan beag a bha 'n a ogha dha, agus sh6id e 'n fheadag. 'S ann gu beannaibh Barbhais a stiiir Oscar a chirsa, agus thug e leis gille agus Mac an Luinn. Thachair duine riu anns na beannaibh sin agus claidheamh aige air an robh truaill mhaiseach. Nise 's e truaill ghrannda a bha air Mac an Luinn. 'S ann a rinn Oscar agus an duine cumha gu 'n deanadh iad iomlaid anus na claidhmhean gun an toirt as na truaillean. 'S e claidheamh meirgeach a thachair a bhi anns an truaill bhreagha. An uair a thainig an oidhche laigh Oscar agus an duine sios agus chaidil iad, ach cha do chaidil gille Oscair
