The Ghillie Dhu or Gille Dubh (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈkʲiʎə ˈt̪u]) is a solitary male fairy described in Scottish folklore. He was said to be dark-haired, and clothed in leaves and moss, from which the ghillie suit got its name. He appears primarily in accounts from the late 18th century, living in a birch wood in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. He was said to fiercely protect the forest from outsiders, but with accounts of him treating children with kindness.
