#FolkloreThursday: `A cattle-herding #brownie of the #Scottish islands, the #gunna hung about small farms making sure the cows did not trample the garden. As with many such helpful sprites, he went naked despite the weather. Any attempt to provide clothes drove the gunna away.`

X (formerly Twitter)Wattle&Daub (@DaubWattle) on X#FolkloreThursday In some Scottish Glens, crofters' corn harvests are protected from stray cattle (kine) by a type of Faerie called a Gunna:
'If my kine should seek the corn
He will turn them by the horn,
And I'll find them all at morn
Lowing sweet beside the byre'
(John Smart)
