Notes: This is the first hill after the Caman when heading in the direction of Toghsgaig. The Bodach Beag was a troll-type figure who was believed to have lived under the bridge at the Caman and would appear from time to time. A story is related in the book Master in sail by William Murchison, born and raised in Toghsgaig, in which Murchison's mother says that the Bodach Beag hadn't been seen since Lord Middleton had closed the public house in Baile a' Mhuilinn.
