Third in the Scottish Folklore Cache Trail. You can read more about the trail at the first cache in the series: GC9T7JA
Scottish folklore is a mash up of pictish myths, irish folklore, imported stories from Scanadinanvia and early continental myths. It is very nature orientated, and it's very scary. Complete the trail and in the process look for 3 words to make up a spell to reveal the bonus cache and the location of The Grail Of The Green Man- GC9TCWM
Brollachan
Scots Gaelic for shapeless thing, a creature of the night. Said to linger around lonely places on the outskirts of civilisation, it is often associated with faerie folk and kelpies, and has sometimes been thought to be the larval form of the fuath, web-footed people believed to have interbred with certain highland clans. The brollachan is considered particularly dangerous to children. The most notable thing about the brollachan is that it has no shape. This is sometimes said to be because it is young and has not yet learned to keep a fixed form. It appears as a dark, cloudy entity with two bright red eyes in the middle. It is considered possible to summon a brollachan in this form, or to entrap it using magical rituals.
The brollachan varies in size, from about two feet in diameter in infancy to about two metres across at its largest. It is not a bold creature and likes to hide in shadows, but prefers barren hills to forested land. Perhaps due to its parentage, it is often found near water.
Due to its lack of shape, the brollachan covets the shapes of others. If it gets the chance, it will possess any creature of an appropriate size and pour its formless mass inside them.
