Good-natured, brownies who live in farmhouses and other country dwellings
in Scotland. While people are asleep, they perform their labors for them. They are known
to be protective creatures and they become attached to a certain place of family. Even if
the family should move to another continent, the brownies will accompany them in their
migration. If offered payment for their services or if they are treated badly, they
disappear and are never seen again.
The little hairy brownies, with their flat faces and pinhole nostrils, are not very
attractive, but their happy smiles and extrovert characters makes up for that. The
innocent nature of children allows them to see the brownies, but disbelieving adults will
never get a glimpse of them. This however does not prevent the brownies from helping
adults in countless minor ways.
