The ''Muc-sheilch(e)'' ((:muxkˈhelɪçə)) is a loch monster reported to live in Loch Maree, and its neighbouring lochs. A Mr Banks of Letterewe tried at great expense to drain Loch-na-Bèiste near Aultbea, in the 1850s, but failed. He also tried to poison it with quicklime. ''Loch-na-Bèiste'' is Scottish Gaelic for "loch of the beast", beast often being used for a loch monster in Ireland especially. The term loosely translates as "turtle-pig". It has been suggested to be a large eel. ==See also== * Lake monster * Morag (loch monster) * ''Seileag 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muc-sheilche」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
