Scottish immigrants. The fairy legends claim that brownies are good-natured, small, drawf-like men fairies that choose a hard-working family (one that is kind and good-hearted, overall) to abide with and assist in daily chores and farm duties. Scottish ùruisg or urisk, which lived outside in streams and waterfalls and was less likely to offer domestic help. The ùruisg enjoyed solitude at certain seasons of the year. Around the end of the harvest, he became more sociable, and hovered around farmyards, stables and cattle-houses. He particularly enjoyed dairy products, and tended to intrude on milkmaids, who made regular libations of milk or cream to charm him off, or to gain his favour. He was usually seen only by those who possessed second sight, though there were instances when he made himself visible to ordinary people as well. He is said to have been jolly and personable, with flowing yellow hair, wearing a broad blue bonnet and carrying a long walking staff. These fairies have been told to shape-shift into roosters so that they can assist a farm throughout the day...because in their truest form they are too sensitive to sunlight. The sunlight is why most people will never lay an eye on a brownie in its true form. If you are a liar, a cheat, or a clergyman...you will never have the wonderful experience of housing and employing the very helpful brownie fairy. Why is this? Because the brownie fairies hate liars, cheats, and especially hypocritical ministers.

The well-known fairy tales of the Seelie Court and its paradox, the Unseelie Court, have been passed down through the Scottish families probably since the Dark Ages. These two groups of fairies are parallel opposites of each other; however, one would most likely not exist without the other...kind of like a ying/yang situation. The fairies that make up the Seelie Court were benevolent to the Scottish people, riding on the winds and gazing down at Scotland to find some sort of good deed to perform. It has been said that these heroic fairies have aided the kind-hearted Scottish folk in their most desperate times of need. The Unseelie Court acts as the antagonist in this age-old story. These fairies were known to be malicious and ride on the highest winds of the greatest storms, waging war against the good Seelie Court fairies. You could probably travel to Scotland today and hear tales of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts' battles in the heavens.
