Fairy Thorns

Fairy Thorns

Fairy thorns are called “Skeog” bushes and there are old people alive who declare that they have seen fairies dancing around them on a summer evening. Several little hills some of them almost completely covered with thorn bushes are avoided – by all wise people, who say the bushes are “gentle” bushes with mounds the dwelling place of fairies, and the eerie sounds that sometimes emanate from them are the fairy fiddles playing for a dance.
