Muc-sheilche
text:
In Scottish folklore, Muc-sheilch(e) is a loch monster said to live in Loch Maree, and its neighbouring lochs. The term loosely translates as "turtle-pig." In the 1850s, a Mr Banks from Letterewe tried at great expense to drain Loch-na-Bèiste, near Aultbea, but failed. He also tried to poison it with quicklime. Loch-na-Bèiste is Scottish Gaelic for "loch of the beast", beast often being used for a loch monster, especially in Ireland.
