Gaelic folklore encompasses the traditional stories, myths, and legends of the Gaelic-speaking peoples, primarily found in Scotland, Ireland, and the Isle of Man. This rich cultural heritage includes tales of fairies, leprechauns, and other supernatural beings, often reflecting the values and beliefs of the communities that tell them. The folklore also features historical figures and events, such as the legendary hero Cú Chulainn and the epic tales of the Táin Bó Cúailnge. These narratives serve to preserve the history, moral lessons, and cultural identity of the Gaelic people, passed down through generations via oral tradition.
