Mary was a little girl who was asked to bring the cattle home, which had gone away for grazing. she went out of the house alone calling out to them. Dusk was falling by then and the day was stormy and dark, tides were rising. As soon as she landed on the shores of Dee to reach the land on the other side, mist covered her eyes. she could not even see where the land lay and ultimately the sea pulled her in. Her body was discovered later by the fishermen who went to catch salmon in the sea.
They were found her by her shining golden tresses and brought her to the shore where her grave lasts till this day, but even now, when the fishermen walk along those shores in search of fish, they can hear Mary's frantic call to call the cattle home.
