Silkies
Female spirits, dressed in rustling silk, that inhabit the borderlands
between England and Scotland. Silkies perform household chores and
are traditionally valued by people living in large houses. But silkies
can be preverse too; a house that is tidy might be left disarranged
, and a messy house might be put in order. A silky also can act as the
guardian of a house, killing any intruder suspected of being out for harm.
