Broomlee Lough: This lake lies a little to the east of Greenlee Lough amid some remote countryside. Legend has it that sunken but enchanted treasure from Sewingshields Castle lies hidden on the lake floor protected by a spell preventing it being found until "Twa twin yauds, twa twin oxen, twa twin lads and a chain forged by a smith of kind." This refers to twin horses, twin oxen, twin boys and finally a "smith of kind" being a seventh generation blacksmith. Any applicants?
