The Legend

Cirein-cròin is a giant sea monster that appears in Scottish Gaelic legend. According to an old proverb, this monster was so large that it lived by eating seven whales. Local legends say that this gigantic creature can disguise itself as a small silver fish when it comes into contact with fishermen. Other stories suggest that the reason for the disguise is to lure its next prey. It is said that when a fisherman catches the small silver fish, after coming aboard, the monster transforms back and devours him.
