It’s Faerie Friday! You ever wonder how ghillie suits got their name?

The Ghillie Dhu (or Gille Dubh, meaning "dark lad") is a shy, solitary Scottish Highland fairy, a benevolent woodland spirit known for clothing himself in moss and leaves, guarding lost children, and leading them home safely from the forests, especially near Loch Gairloch. While generally gentle to children, he can be wild and aggressive towards adults, particularly those harming his woods, but his legend also suggests he might be a disguised exiled Stuart prince or even an early form of the Tooth Fairy, a mysterious forest guardian with a kind heart.
