Water Bull (Tarbh Uisge): Scottish Folklore Creature
Orin Vale
The Water Bull, or Tarbh Uisge, is a creature of Scottish Highland and Island folklore, linked to lochs, rivers, and the perilous boundary between the human world and the Otherworld. Shifting between beast, fairy-haunted omen, and local legend, it reflects enduring Gaelic beliefs about water, fertility, and the hidden forces that shape the landscape.
