Re: Camus Nan Geall by Anonymous on Tuesday, 16 January 2007
Anyone ever heard of The Dance (of Geall) or of Geall which apparently was of 'the other world'? I am looking for this historical place or references to it based on a reference I read in 'Morrigan's Cross' by Nora Roberts. It would appear to be (or have been) in Ireland, not Scotland, but I may be mistaken.

Go raibh mile maith agaibh.
