| Creag-a-Bhuic
|
|
The rock of the buck. This is the rocky precipice behind the Manse of Balquhidder. According to tradition, the name Creag-a-bhuic was only given to it after the district became the property of the Tullibardine family, which was about 1592. The people, it is said, were backward in paying their rents; and a demand being made to forward them forthwith by a swift messenger, a roebuck was caught as being a very swift creature, and a small bag with a few coins being tied to his neck, he was let loose. Sometimes afterwards the roebuck was found dead under the rock,which, in commemoration of the transaction,was thenceforth known as the "Buck's Rock." The story is not worth much, but it illustrates the disregard for feudal superiors,which was long a characteristic of the Celtic race. I mention it, however, for the purpose of adding that I have reason to believe the rock was formerly known as Creagan Tuirc (the rock of the wild boar). This was the slogan or battle-cry of the McLarens, who were anciently, and for a long period, the principal tribe in the district.
