Du-Sith
Du-Sith
The Black Elf, a little man believed to be of fairy origin who killed Sir Lachlan Mor M'Clean in 1598 at the battle of Trai-Gruinard in Islay, Scotland. According to legend this little man offered his services to Sir James Macdonald, the opponent of Sir Lachlan, and that the latter's death was caused by an arrow that struck him on the head, afterward found to be an elf bolt (see also elf arrows ). In answer to a question of Macdonald's the little man said, "I am called Du-sith, and you were better to have me with you than against you."
