The Fairy Flag of Dunvegan Castle
As is common in human/fae marriages, one of the stipulations to their betrothal was that McLeod must promise to allow his beloved to return to her own folk at such time as they deemed appropriate to beckon her. And so it came to pass that the young couple was very happy, and very much in love. But, when their first child was born, the young fairy mother heard the fae pipers calling her home. She had no choice but to obey. Her husband was able to walk his bride part of the way, but they must say their goodbyes at Fairy Bridge.
After the two lovers parted, McLeod returned to Dunvegan Castle to begin preparations for the customary celebratory feast that accompanies the birth of every new heir.
