In the North Side of Gleann Scoithin is a long flag called by the natives Scota’s Grave. This, which is to all appearance a natural object, is mentioned in all the ancient Irish Mss. which treat of the landing of the Milesian Colony in Ireland.

The mountain stream called Fionnghaise (This stream should be named Finglas on the Ordnance Map) by Keating in the legend of Curoi and Blanaid runs through this glen and close by this grave of Scota. A local legend states that Scota was killed here in as she attempted to leap across the glen while pregnant and that she was interred beneath this enormous flag. This glen is not very wide and it is stated that Scota mother of the Milesians was in the habit of leaping across it from Cnoc na miol to Cnoc na ndamh.
This glen is celebrated in Irish legends as the place where the great warrior Curoi Mac Dairi, chief of the Deagads of Munster was murdered by Cuchullin, the bravest of the heroes of the Red branch in Ulster. The story connected with it is told by Keating and Dr. Smith in his history of Kerry,
