Ghillie Dhu Ghillie Dhu In Scottish folklore the Ghillie Dhu or Gille Dubh () was a solitary male fairy. He was kindly and reticent yet sometimes wild in character but had a gentle devotion to children. Dark haired and clothed in leaves and moss, he lived in a birch wood within the Gairloch and Loch a Druing area of the north-west highlands of Scotland. "Ghillie" is an English equivalent of the Scottish Gaelic word ; Edward Dwelly, a Scottish lexicographer, lists "gille" as a "lad", "youth" or "boy" with "dubh" translating as "dark" or "dark-haired". According to folklorist and scholar Katharine Briggs
Gillie and Marc Gillie and Marc Gillie and Marc Schattner are a collaborative artist couple known for public sculptures. Their sculptures feature animals, and human-animal hybrids. In 2018 they gained attention and controversy for two public sculptures in New York City. The Chinatown community prevented their Chinese ‘Year of the Dog’ themed sculpture "He knew this was going to be a year of good fortune" from being installed near a memorial to Chinese-American World War II veterans, as the community felt it was demeaning. They installed "The Last Three," a large sculpture of the last three Northern White Rhinos, in Astor Place. Jerry
