Earth Spirits:
1. Henkies: nickname given to Shetland Trows. They are small, grotesque people who limp (or henk) when they walk. Their music is captivating but their dancing is odd -- they clasp their hands around their knees. They conjure up storms by their restlessness. The weather is only fine when they are asleep.
2. The Red Caps: Small dwarfs with red eyes and red caps. The Red Caps' main occupation is colouring their caps, which they dye with human blood. As soon as the blood dries and the colour fades, the Red Caps look for new victims. They also foretell disasters by making a loud noise like the beating of flax.
3. Boggie: Although the try to move with attempted stealth, their clumsiness betrays their presence with thumps, creaks and scuffles.
4. The Little Washer of Sorrow: she is sometimes called the Little Washer at the Ford. She can be heard wailing by the riverside as she washes the clothes of the man destined for death.
5. Baisd Bheulach : A shapeshifting demon who haunted the Odail Pass on the Isle of Skye. Sometimes they take the shape of sheep. Its howls can be heard in the night.
6. Fairie Hunters: From the mountains, mixing with the tramp of horses, the music of the horn, and the cheering of the huntsmen, you can hear a crew of thirteen fairy hunters, dressed in green. The silver bosses of their bridles jingle in the night breeze
7. Trooping Fairies: Scottish elves who dance in groups. You know they are approaching by the sound of their little bells.
8. Fear Liath More: Fear Liath More or the Gray Man, is a creature said to have inhabited the vicinity of the summit cairn of Ben MacDhui, one of the six peaks of the Scottish Cairmgorm Mountains. The Gray Man is identified as a presence encountered both physically and psychically, as well as a high pitched sound, or the Singing as it is sometimes called.

Water Spirits:
1. Selkies: The male selkies cause storms and turbulence to wreck ships and overturn the boats of seal hunters and fishermen. Their strength comes from the small bell shaped water fungus they eat.
2. Dunters: thought to come from the sea, Dunters haunt the old peel towers and border keeps on the Scotch-English border. Their presence is known by their frequent thumping noise. It is said that when the thumping noise grows louder it is an omen of death or misfortune. (Often related to English activity.)
3. The Blue Men of the Minch : They live in caves under the waters of the Minch, the channel through the "Charmed Islands" of the Hebrides. the channel is also called the "Current of Destruction," because they say the Blue Men stir up the waves by their incessant swimming. The Blue Men may attack ships or sailors who have mistreated the Selkies and other Seafolk.
4. Each-Uisge - the name for the Highland supernatural water horse, supposedly the most dangerous of the Scottish water dwelling creatures. The Each Uisge had the ability to shape shift, and could disguise itself as a fine horse or pony. If a man was to mount the horse, it would immediately set off into the deepest part of the loch, the rider being unable to free himself because of the adhesive qualities of the creature's skin. Once deep underwater, the unfortunate victim would drown, and be devoured completely apart from the liver, which would float ashore, a sure sign that the water horse had claimed another victim. Warned travelers listen for the only sound which betrays that this "horse" is in the vicinity: the rattling of the chains with which the spirit is covered.
5. Nuckelavee : The most gruesome monster of them all. A horrible monster who came out of the sea, half-man and half-horse, with a breath like pestilence and no skin on its body, leaving its inner workings oozing and on display. The only security from it was that it could not face the sound or the sight of running water. He makes an awful roaring sound that can be hear miles away.
