According to Scottish Hebridean legend, the Biast Bheulach haunted the Ordail Pass on the Isle of Skye. It could appear as a man with only one leg but its howling cries were like those of a great greyhound. Those who had to travel through the pass hurried through it hoping not to meet the beast. A sign that the Biast Bheulach had been abroad was when a man was found dead at the roadside with two wounds upon his body. Those who examined his body could not account for the nature of the wounds for there was no animal or human upon the island who could have made them.
