Fifth 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 - GC9TCWM.
The Sluagh
The Sluagh were the hosts of the unforgiven dead in Scottish Folklore. In the words of British folklorist Lewis Spence, "The Sluagh, or fairy host, was regarded as composed of the souls of the dead flying through the air, and the feast of the dead at Hallowe'en was likewise the festival of these fairies." Usually taking a crescent form while flying together, similar to a flight of grey birds, they were said to be able to approach and pick up a person from any direction and then transport them far away through the air, from one island to another.
The Slaugh have quite a frightful appearance. Sometimes, they have great wings or shapeshift into fearsome birds. When in their human-like form they appear haggard and old. Their skin sags and seems to nearly fall off the bone. Their appendages are long and gangly, ending in sharp nails. Their leathery wings give them the appearance of wearing a cape or cloak when not in use.
