Scottish Folklore: Cat Sìth. Top Story - October 2023.
Sleek, silent, and graceful, the Cat Sìth is one of the most feared creatures of Scottish mythology. Taking the form of a black cat with a white spot on its chest, Cat Sìth are incredibly large; around the size of a medium or large dog depending on which sources you consider. Though the name Cat Sìth can be loosely translated to 'Fairy Cat', many sources do not consider them fairy creatures, but shape shifters.

Scottish Folklore: Redcaps
Scottish history is bloody, and so it should be little surprise to anyone that much of the folklore of this land is also tinged with blood and death. From murderous water spirits to highland shapeshifters, there are many creatures in Scotland that will take a life if given the chance. Redcaps are no different, in that respect, but they are a little unique.
