SCOTTISH FAIRIES
Scotland is steeped in fairy faith. Many of our traditions and rituals come from our ancestor’s desire to appease the ‘guid folk’ who could be unpredictable in their affections and downright dangerous if provoked.
Fairies feature prominently in Scottish folklore. Fairies are connected to nature, being guardians of the wood, waterways and sea.
FAMOUS SCOTTISH FAIRIES:
- The Ghillie Dhu of Gairloch, Wester Ross.
- Orkney Isle Selkies.
- The Loireag of Benbecula, South Uist.
- Falkirk Kelpies.
- The Baobhan-Sìth of Slains castle, Aberdeen.
- Brucie of Heldon?
HELDONS BRUCIE
Not many locals are aware of Brucie the friendly and kind fairy who lives in Heldon woods just outside of Elgin. Like many others she is extremely shy. So as not to been during the daytime she changes shape into one of the many common woodland birds, so look out for one if it follows you on your way. As she spends a lot of her time disguised as a bird, she does like all of the things that they eat. Unlike the “typical” fairy mentioned in tales, Brucie does not have wings and neither wears human type clothes. Her “clothes” are made from woodland fauna and flora with garments made of spiders silk being her favourite.
