#LegendaryWednesday: One of the most famous relics of Fairyland to be seen in our world is the #Fairy Flag of Dunvegan Castle, belonging to the MacLeod clan, on the #IsleOfSkye off #Scotland.
One fall night, it is told, a green-clad woman was seen entering the nursery of the castle, where she found the infant heir sound asleep and his nurse napping. Such a caller would generally be suspected of planning a fairy kidnapping, but the woman merely sat down and began to sing a beautiful air called “Taladh na Mna Sithe,” or “Lullaby of the Fairy Woman.” The nurse awakened but was immobilized by fright as she watched the fairy woman carefully wrap the child in a silken garment. The mysterious fairy blanket became the special banner of the MacLeods, and it was said to protect all members of that clan when they went to war.
