Sgrìobh Swire (1966): “But after his many days at sea (St Torranan) was very thirsty: finding no fresh water, he prayed to God for a spring and one at once broke out of the hillside where he stood.Torranan blessed it and when he had drunk his ‘seven satisfactions’ of its sweet water he gave it thanks and called the spring‘Gamhnach’ ,Farrow Cow, and prayed that it might never dry up. Later, it became a place of pilgrimage and every pilgrim, having drunk, placed a ‘choice green leaf’ in it as thanks to the cow. ”(107).
