004 | This name is applied to a sprout of water, by the roadside near the village of Clachnaharry; the water being conducted across the railway from a spring on the other side among the rocks. The name is Gaelic and means The Kitten, and is said to have originated from the circumstance of a small public-house having once been kept here bearing this name - When however the license was withdrawn, the sale of whiskey did not cease, but the name became transferred to the spring of water, so that the highlanders could still speak of going to drink at "Pusag"; though, as heretofore, they more often imbibed the strong waters kept at the old dram shop in preference to the clear, free gift of Dame Nature. It is the chief supply of water to the village and is very copious. |
