The Fairy Walk

THERE are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
It's not so very, very far away;
You pass the gardener's shed and you just keep straight ahead -
I do so hope they've really come to stay.
There's a little wood, with moss in it and beetles,
And a little stream that quietly runs through;
You wouldn't think they'd dare to come merrymaking there-
Well, they do. by Rose Fyleman

There were definitely fairies on a trail at the bottom of a few gardens where I walked this summer! Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself sometime!

The Fairy Walk is the unofficial name for a walk from the tiny village of Drybridge near Buckie in Scotland to the 18th century Craigmin Bridge which is steeped in legend. On the first level of the bridge there is a door leading to a tiny room where it is said that Bonnie Prince Charlie slept when he was on the run after the Battle of Culloden in 1746.

A couple of local men and their wives created the magic in this place. But the fairies are real! Ask any small child!
