Directly outside Brandy House you will notice a large, white stone of bolder size. Its place there has been perminent since builders tried to use it as part of the original dwelling of the now Brandy House. They built the stone into the wall, the next day the whole wall had collapses, this was then done again and yet the wall collapsed again. The builders decided to return the stone to its spot, built the wall excluding this stone and behold the wall did not fall down. This stone is known as ‘The Fishermans Stone’ and legend has it that the fisherman named Wm. Flewid habituated resting himself here after returning from his day working on the sands, he warned the builders not to use the stone in the building as no good would come of it!
