Scotias Grave

The sons of Milesius and their armies landed in Ireland about 3,500 B.C. and battled with the Tuatha de Danaan at the foot of the Slieve Mish Mountains. The Milesians won, but Scotia, widow of Milesius and daughter of Pharaoh of Egypt and Fas, wife of Un Mac Uige, were among the slain. Scotia was buried in Gleann Scoithin [Scotias Glen] about 3 miles South of Tralee. A large flagstone in the Glen is said to mark her grave. Fas was buried in Gleann Fhaise [Glen Aish] about 10 miles South-West of Tralee also in the Slieve Mish Mountains.
