Fairy List
Coleman Gray
Such
are the tales of Border sprites which Mr. Wilkie has collected. He adds
that the villages of Bowden and Gateside had a strange belief that on a
certain night in the year (thence called " Cowlug e'en ") a number of
sprites were abroad with ears resembling those of cows ; but he could
not discover the origin of the belief, nor which night was thus
distinguished.
