Gormshuil Mhòr na Maighe

Gormshuil Mhòr na Maighe (also called Gormla of Moy; ) was a powerful Gaelic Scottish woman, reputed to be a witch, from the Lochaber Highlands of Scotland. She is often referred to as the Great Gormula. Associated with many stories, she is best known for her interactions with Ewen Mor Cameron of Lochiel, 13th chief of Clan Cameron, and for the mysterious sinking of a Spanish galleon of the Spanish Armada off the Isle of Mull, which she is held responsible for.

This dispute between Lochiel and Atholl led to the Cameron clan's motto Sons of the hounds, come hither and get flesh! It is also said that this came from the tune Lochiel's piper was playing at the time, , ('Come hither, children of the hounds, and you'll get flesh'). Afterwards, although Cameron thanked Gormshuil on his way home, she replied that "Despite your words of kindness you will hang my son some day."

Many years later, Gormshuil's only son was charged with murder. However, on her way to see Ewen at Tor Castle to beg for her son's life, Gormshuil drowned. She was said to have fallen into a flooded burn after spotting a salmon; it is believed that this salmon was in fact the Devil luring her to death. Adding to the tragedy, Ewen indeed had her son executed without knowing he was Gormshuil's. However, there were many different interpretations of her death.
