The Official Field Guide to Scotland's Cait Sìth
Identification, habitat, sightings and field protocols
The definitive companion for those who walk the old roads of the Scottish Highlands in search of the spectral black cat of Celtic tradition. Drawing upon centuries of Gaelic oral record, documented sightings, and the foundation's own field research, this guide details the physical characteristics, territorial range, and behavioural patterns attributed to the Cait Sìth — from the white diamond chest marking to the characteristic low, prowling gait observed on moorland paths between dusk and dawn. Includes regional sighting maps, identification protocols, and guidance for conducting field observations in accordance with established Highland custom.
