It’s Faerie Friday! Post your fae folk!

In Celtic and Scottish folklore, "fairy cattle" (or crodh sith) refer to supernatural livestock associated with the Good Folk. These magical beasts take a few different forms:
Red Deer: In the Scottish Highlands, communities famously called red deer "fairy cattle" because of the legend that fairies milked them on mountain tops.
Lake and Sea Cattle: Irish and Welsh myths tell of crodh mara (fairy sea cows) and gwartheg y llyn (lake cattle) that fairies occasionally brought to marry human farmers, only to reclaim them if a taboo was broken.
The Legend of Skye: A famous folktale on the Isle of Skye tells of crodh sith swimming from the island of Raasay to graze the slopes of Scorrybreck.
