    Hiking

    The folklore surrounding the River Sligachan is centred on the legend of the warrior woman Scáthach and her encounter with the Irish hero Cú Chulainn. According to the tale, Scáthach was a formidable warrior who trained heroes in the art of combat. She and Cú Chulainn engaged in a fierce battle, but eventually, they made peace.

    The legend goes that the waters beneath the Sligachan Bridge are enchanted. It is said that if you dip your face in these waters, you will be granted eternal beauty.

    Hiking

    The river collects a lot of water from the path and lets it flow into the sea as expected.
