“Old Woman, The Veiled One, Hag, The Witch of Ben Cruachan, Mother of Scotland, Queen of Winter”

Upon the Lochs and Lands of Scotland there is perhaps no more notable a God than Cailleach Beira. It is she who crafted the land of Scotland itself and is Mother of the many Gods and Giants who call this land home. So ancient is she that she has long lost count to the winters and years she has been here, though by her own word she has seen when land was water and water was land. Some of this shifting however was no doubt crafted by her own hand during her creation of the Scottish landscape, though she herself may have forgot due to time.
