Red skies over the Kyle of Tongue, Caithness, Scotland, U.KWhen the skies are dark and stormy over the Kyle of Tongue people claim to have seen the ghost of an old man, Tom McLeod, driving his rickety horse-drawn coach down a stretch of road around the Kyle from Tongue to Melness. Years ago old Tom, the local postman for 40 years, came to his end about 4 miles from home as the bridge he was crossing flooded and collapsed. Tom was thrown from the coach, hit his head on rocks, and drowned while the horses were swept into the river and dragged underneath the coach with no hope of survival. The road Tom took for 40 years a man, his ghost has taken for a hundred. Running down the dark northern face of the beautiful mountain of Ben Loyal, Queen of the Scottish Mountains is a streak of light coloured rock called the boar`s scratch. Long, long ago in the time of dwarfs and fairies, a wild boar of giant size roamed the north of Scotland, destroying farms and devouring animals and people as it went.
