scottish highland fairies

The Highlands are unquestionably the wildest part of Britain and there are more cultural differences between Higland and Lowland Scotland than between Lowland Scotland and Northern England. The fairies bred here matched the landscape and the desolation: they were the most dangerous of all the fey and often not just moody but downright evil.
