EARLY writings depicting a mysterious creature said to live in the depths of Loch Morar in the Highlands are being studied by researchers.
The legend of Morag – a less well-known cousin of the Loch Ness monster – is detailed in a series of texts dating from 1902, compiled by Alexander Carmichael, a prolific gatherer of folklore.
The papers were discovered in 2011 and are being examined by the Carmichael Watson project at Edinburgh University.
