Fachen: The Fachen is a monstrous entity of Scottish lore. It is described as a one-legged cyclops-like creature.
Goggie: A Goggie is a type of bogie that has the form of a large caterpillar which devours kids that ignore their mother`s orders to stay away from forests, orchards and berry bushes.
Kelpie: In old Scotland, the Kelpie is a treacherous water devil who lurks in lakes and rivers. It usually assumes the shape of a young horse. When a tired traveler stops by a lake to rest or to have a drink, he would see a horse, apparently peacefully grazing. When he mounts the horse, the Kelpie dives into the water and drowns its victim. Occasionally it has helped millers by keeping the mill-wheel going at night.
