It is said that a mermaid once fell in love with a local fisherman, who to this day holds him captive in a nearby loch.

It is also said in the 9th chapter of the Orkneyingers Saga that "Ragnhilda, king Eric's daughter" had a husband called Arnfinn, the fifth son of Thorfinn the Earl. Arnfinn died at Murkle in Caithness leaving Ragnhilda a widow.
