About sixty years ago the people from Corrán used to go up to the “Coire” ( a glen on Corrán hill to the east side of Corrán) booleyin.” They had little boiógs there and one night all the women left the Coire and came down home with the milk and the butter except one woman.
The people used to go up with cattle early in June, up to the Coire. The woman and young girls that used to go up, but men used to go up as well if there was no women in the house to go. There used to be good wholesome grass in the Coire in June and July and the cattle used to thrive well whilst they’d be above and they’d be the better of it again for the year after.
