Note 46 — Chapter II · TALES ILLUSTRATIVE OF FAIRY SUPERSTITION. (continued 2)
Reading edition
This version of the story is from Skye. A version from Uist is given in Campbell’s Tales of the West Highlands, ii. 68. It varies merely in representing the thirsty man as a traveller, who, in consequence of refusing from the Fairy the drink for which he had wished, was drowned at the next ferry.
