Scottish Mythology - Each Uisge / Elves
Each Uisge
The Highland water-horse is more dangerous than the Aughisky or the Cabyll-ushtey.
See also Kelpies.
Ellyllon
The elves of Wales are tiny, elegant and helpful to mortals in distress.
Elves
In Scotland, Elves are of human size but the English elves are small fairy people. In either case, one has to be careful with them as they will avenge themselves of any wrongdoing.
