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
Jean Gillie in the United States. Gillie made her American screen debut in 1946 in the cult film noir "Decoy", directed by Bernhard. This was a radical departure from any role she had played before, casting her as a devious, manipulative, conniving and completely unscrupulous femme fatale. A contemporary reviewer commented: "It's been a long time since the screen has seen a more sinister feminine character than the one which Jean Gillie plays in "Decoy"" The film was a Poverty Row production from Monogram Pictures, fading from view after its original cinema run and remaining little-known and largely unseen for many years.
