There is a fairy called the Cat Sith. It was in the shape of a cat. People would leave offerings to them, so they did not take the dead when someone passed away. When someone died, they would make sure no cats were around as it could be the Cat Sith in disguise #FairyTaleTuesday #cats #fairylore #scottishfolklore

Ghillie Dhu was a type of fairy from Scottish Folklore. He was covered in moss and lived in a birch wood. He would be very aggressive to adults but had a very affectionate and gentle nature to children. #fairylore #myths #scottishfolklore #fairies

I don't know if a map is something anyone is looking for, but hope it makes at least one person happy.
