This army of spirits was linked with the fae realm and often thought to be comprised of the Daoine sith, or the fair folk, It is said they would amass great spectral armies and the grey host would travel west to wage war in unknown land and unknown realms. But as this folk belief evolved, it began to incorporate the souls and ghosts of the Scottish. It was believed at that time, that the deceased warriors whose lives were taken in battle, would serve as the rank-and-file soldiers un the legion of the dammed, lead to war by the magnificent and powerful sith of the other world. Yet as time went on and the belief in the sith become more hidden and is some areas completely outlawed, these tales of the sluagh would adopt a new form. It was said that spectral host would be comprised of clan warriors killed in battle and on calm frosty nights the rattling of armour and the clatter of blades could be heard upon the cold air, the fallen Soldiers, retuned to this earth to settle ancient grudges and wars between Scotland’s noble clans. It was said by many old Scots from the isles, that when there is deep darkness on the night and the burden of anger on the tide, the Sluagh will arise, the spirit host is nimble and quick, and will never cease in its endless hunt for revenge.
