The version of the story I was told was that he threw it into the mud print formed by a cow’s hoof and that the water sprung from the ground where the stone fell to flood the hole and eventually form the loch. The shape of the loch is like cows hoof print.
The legend also says that the loch has powers of prophesy. If you ask a question over the loch the water will ripple of the answer is yes.
