Scotland is host to more than it's fair share of myths and legends, as wildlife filmmaker Andrew O'Donnell has discovered. The Shores of Loch Tay play host to many tales of ghosts and all things unexplained, but on the southern shore of Loch Tay, lies the little Hamlet of Ardeonaig. And Glen behind  which, is said to have once been haunted by a ghost as evil and gruesome as they come. 
Horrible cries and screams were often heard coming down from the Top of the Glen where the ghost was said to have lived. Many people went missing and the residents of Ardeonaig and the surrounding area were shitting their pants.
However, things changed one day, when Ardeonaig's resident postman was walking up the glen on his was to Perth, and he was brutally murdered by the ghost.
At this point the people of Ardeonaig had decided they'd had enough! Many of them were fond of the postman, but deep down they were really more ragin about no gettin' their letters anymore.
So the people gathered, and together and decided that a local hero who went by the name "Colin" would be the one who would head up the Glen to deal with the ghost and save people. Colin was a bit of a ticket and he was well known for being a good fighter. However, even brave Colin was skeptical about his dangerous quest. But the locals put it bluntly and said  "we all think yer amaizing Colin, but if you don't go up and vanquish that ghost you'll forever be known as a shitebag, and you don't want that do ye?".
Before departing on his quest Colin received council from a local wise-man. He advised Colin to... now get this right, "take a greyhound with him because ghosts hate greyhounds". How random is that. Saying that, everyone I know with a greyhound hasn't been murdered by a ghost, so it must be truth in it.
Anyway, Big Colin marched up to the top of the glen and confronted the ghost, and the ghost was absolutely ragin' about the dug, and it begged Colin to keep it on a leash. Colin replied "I will keep it on a leash. As long as you agree to go back to whatever hell you came from. And after a wee Heart to heart, the ghost accepted Colin's proposal, and peace was returned to the land.
