Description
"The Swan, which is called 'Eala' in Scots Gaelic . . . [is] seen as having links to the Otherworld (Aos Si) community whose world was reached through mists, hills, lakes, ponds, wetland areas, caves, ancient burial sites, cairns and mounds. Within these realms dwelt the Celtic gods with all of their supernatural ability. Association with these deities gave the swan an exalted status . . ."
- Alastair Kneale, Transceltic
