Scotland's SCARIEST mythical creature?

- What is a Redcap? Where are you most likely to find one? And what is their gruesome association with blood?
Hi everybody I’m Nick and this is Beasts of the Olde World: a channel that explores ancient folklore, mysteries and mythical creatures from across the globe.
In this episode we look at one of the most terrifying mythical creatures from the Scottish borderlands, a region with a history of conflict between the Scottish and the English.
This creature is the Redcap, a bloodthirsty goblin-like creature relatively unique to Border Folklore. We will touch on their relationship to Powries and Dunters, and we will examine why the redcap is considered to be among the most evil and dangerous creatures in folklore. We will also look at why these wicked creatures haunt the ruins of ancient castles found along the border between Scotland and England, especially those with particularly dark histories.
We will look at what would happen if you were to be caught by a redcap, and will reveal the gruesome reason for their name.
We will retell the dark story of The Evil Lord Soulis and the Redcap Sly, and talk about Hermitage Castle, where the tyrant Lord and noted sorcerer once lived. We will reveal his legendary dark pact with his redcap bodyguard, their reign of terror over the borderlands, and Lord Soulis’ eventual downfall at Ninestane Rig.
I hope you enjoy this short deep dive into Scotland’s mythic past, examining these fearsome beasts of the olde world. I hope you will join me again for more mythical creature features in the future!

Which mythical creature features would you like to see next? Let me know 👇👇👇
@BeastsoftheOldeWorld a lot to choose from. What about a video on Nixies, Pixies and Sprites. A lot of confusion in consumer land.
I have a video about Pixies planned - still at early stages so I don't know quite what the shape of it will be yet but in my head it's a double episode.
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorld Black Dog/Hound Lore would be very interesting.
Also wondering if you have any plans to cover significant hauntings at all?
Black Dog video is recorded and is a bit of a bumper episode, so look out for that soon!
Nuckelavee
Thanks for actually showing Hermitage Castle. Please, show more of the actual locations that correspond to the stories.
So fucking needy
This was nice to watch, I grew up near the border and it's true the area has a lot of macabre folklore. The thing about putting a stick in a window and having it come out chewed is a common theme. THey say the same about Spedlins Tower, which is another reviving tower not far from Lockerbie, although the basement there is said to hold a vengeful ghost of a man who starved to death in the dungeon, not a redcap.
Always been fascinated by the Leanan Sidhe myself. Thanks for the Redcap lore!
Fantastic and terrifying. I was told as a child one more way to outfox the redcap. Turn your clothes inside out, if I put on a jumper the wrong way round I won't change it, lol better to be safe than sorry.
Yes I came across this strange detail in the research for this video. I left it out because so much Redcap lore is so dark and heavy that the image of someone turning their clothes inside out as a fix-all felt too light-hearted in contrast. It's such an interesting little detail too, but I just couldn't find a proper place for it to fit without disrupting the overall tone of the video.
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorld I can understand that indeed. I'm from a small island in Orkney so where this came from I've no idea, but it certainly scared the living daylights out of me.
Yeah I couldn't find any reason for it either - I guess not having a 'why' makes it even scarier when you're young! But it's funny you should say - Orkney is all I've been reading about for the last couple of weeks! Just today I finished my first draft of the script for an upcoming video about Selkies!
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorld Oh fantastic, I love the selkies. In the Summer you could hear them and they love music. So looking forward to this.
Often my clothes are inside out so I think I am ok... lol
I love how it's left handed. Being left handed was seen as something evil in various cultures.
If you didn't know left-handed people are always 10% of the population at any given time one reason is believed this as a norm is set as a counter to all the right-handed people
A lot ; disproportionately even Hollywood actors and actress are left handed check it out
@@MichaelBetsch-sl9bb left hand path
@@joeywantstoplay what's that left hand path
But it held the staff in its left hand so its dominant right hand is free to use.
The redcap feels interestingly similar to vampiric lore.
- _Requires_ your blood to stay alive, leading to why they are likely distinctly evil (they prey upon people).
- Long teeth, and leaves behind a large tooth when killed.
- Able to unnaturally overpower and outrun a normal person.
- Defeated by a holy symbol / scripture.
It is neat seeing strikingly similar mythological traces set in a completely different creature. It almost feels like the original source of such lore is old enough to produce completely diverging mythology later on down the line.
Great thought. Blood is life to a lot of things
One theory of how my family’s ancestors went from the Soules’ (soo-lay) of southern France to England and then America (a George Soule sailed on the Mayflower) and the modern Soule (soul) family was through Scotland where John de Soules (soo-lez) was hereditary constable of Scotland under King Robert the Bruce and his younger brother was William de Soules, constable of Hermitage castle. The dark wizard of your amazing video! The entomology and evolution of family names has always fascinated me, perhaps the direct descendants or family of William de Soules changed their name to avoid notoriety and moved to southern England?
If you’ve never been to Hermitage it’s an incredibly eerie place, especially how the temp drops so dramatically as soon as you enter it’s stone walls.
Thanks!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve always wondered if there were any folkloric stories of Red Caps interacting with Blue Caps (the benevolent creatures who warn/try to save miners from collapses). Considering the dichotomy of Red vs Blue and malevolent vs benevolent, I’d be surprised if there weren’t at least *some* folktales featuring the two interacting.
Worth looking into... 👀
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorld would be amazing to see you do a video on that if you find any!
Legend has it their ancient feud lives on as the crips vs bloods...
@@stilltoomanyhats Democrats and Republicans too lol!😂
Happened all the time in Compton back in the 80s
It's always nice to see a story where the people ignore the cancellation clause of the spell and simply bypass it 😆. This perfectly demonstrates why you don't tell the people you're oppressing the exact terms of your dark pacts.
That Redcap Sly had powers way beyond the norm for his kind.
Yeah, not the most conventional Redcap of all time, that's for sure!
@BeastsoftheOldeWorld seems more like a Demonic Entity that got called forth, entrapped in that form due to the nature of the summoning.
There are some who believe that the form taken by a summoned creature has a lot to fo with expectations.
Yes, in a way it's a shame that this is pretty much the only surviving story featuring a 'redcap' - at least with a strong narrative, and that I'm aware of. As you say, in many ways, beyond being called a Redcap, it bears very little resemblance to the more traditional Recaps of border folklore.
I'd love to hear more Redcap stories though, if anyone has them / knows where to look for them! 🕵️♂️
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorldwith no way to run or fight, then I'm guessing there wouldn't be that many stories
I think it's pretty hilarious that the soceror is impervious to weapons but can be beaten unconscious with fist
Hermitage Castle near Newcastleton in Roxburghshire, on the borders, was built in the 1240s by a Baron Nicholas de Soulis, known as Lord Soulis. A reputed necromancer and notorious torturer and black magician who was eventually burned to death in a barrel of pitch by his own tenants.He had a daemonic familiar who helped him in his evil works, named "Redcap Sly"...
Really interesting. The Philippines also has these mythical red capped dwarves. People who have their third eyes opened, say that they still exist today. And the description of them align with those in this video.
That is interesting! I knew there were other Redcaps around the world (that behave very differently to these little terrors) but haven't heard of any from the Philippines!
Do you mean the duende?
Hinkypunks, Kelpies, Grindylows, leprechauns, Black Dog, Pooka, or Coblynau (to name a few).
You may see some of these very soon!
The picts had others these are gaels and Highland Dal riada beasties not true Scottish beasts
@@StuartAnderson-xl4bo The Scots were the people from Dal Riada, not the Picts.
@damionkeeling3103 i know I said that Picts had other beasties
Have not heard about Redcap for years!
I like how in the story common people united to overthrow a rich noble tyrant.
That story of Redcap Sly and William de Soulis is so good. I've never heard that one before, or even heard of a Redcap, but I love the style of the story. The regular prose being interspersed with a few impactful rhymes is a style of storytelling I wish we still did more often!
A Red Cap would make a Great Horror Movie Monster.
Be a great Highlander episode. The Highlander has to confront The Red Caps
Maybe the new Pantheon mmo will have some. Pathfinder Kingmaker rpg had some creepy ones
Well the story with the wizard proves the Redcaps can be killed in battle. 1. Sly wouldn't have screamed to make their weapons dull and melt if he couldn't be harmed by them. 2. He was powerless against the army of unarmed men and watched in horror. So the Redcaps aren't immune to damage. Then its better to fight than run since fighting you still have a chance to win. Maybe outsmarting is an option too. Nothing is said of their intelligence from this story.
a glass fiber rope should have worked since it's made from sifted sand?
Nice story. There used to be a plaque in the town I grew up in (Kilmarnock) that a Lord Soulis had been slain there in a skirmish between Lord Boyd and himself as Lord Soulis led a group of English mercenaries who were attempting to take Dean Castle, the local castle. Not sure of the date, but the story goes that Lord Boyd shot Lord Soulis in the heart with a crossbow from over the water.
Yeah it seems there were a few Lord de Soulises at one point - none of them appear to have fared very well. From what I can tell, a lot of their stories get mixed up, too: the historical Lord (William) Soulis from this episode was really sentenced to life in prison for treason, and was not a sorcerer. There was an earlier Soulis, Ranulf II, who was really murdered by his own servants, so he could be the true source of the tale.
Great work! Just found this channel. I have written an RPG (PnP/TTRPG) with European folklore and it's central themes. Your work is great source material for me when researching. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it and that you can find this useful! Loads more to come too!
Hooked on these videos at the moment,hoping you might do one about the woodwose,that half forgotten mythical wildman of old England.Not much around about the old chap!
Not familiar with this at all, but will definitely be doing some research - sounds interesting!
Love the woodwose!
*sees redcap*
Me: "Jesus wept."
Redcap: *bursts into flames*
Are you a wizard?
Nicely done sir! *tips hat*
He'd more likely laugh in your face, then rip it off. Powries no nothing of Christianity, nor would they care if they did!
@@christopherwilson3242Agreed!
We're going to need that in ancient hebrew
I have heard it from a friend that if one offers the redcap a good solid slice of cheese and a glass of whiskey he turns out to be a really nice fellow, quite talkative. He does tell a different version of the story 😉
I too can be swayed by good cheese, so I totally understand.
🤯 how can I be a 43 year old Scotsmen, and this is me just hearing of the redcap's 😊
It's not a lowlands thing we were picts this is a borders beastie
If you're not spending your evenings diving into obscure folklore collections, I’m not surprised! 😅 The redcap is not a particularly famous mythical creature, but they’re certainly fascinating. Glad I could introduce you to them!
@BeastsoftheOldeWorld it's very much appreciated I've just stumbled on to your channel but I will be staying for the foreseeable my friend 👍 grate informative content is hard to find keep it up 👏👏👌
🙏🙏🙏
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorldnot famous? They're the first malicious fairy creature i heard of and are prevalent in games, books, and other media depicting dark fae
Great video! Subbed right away! Two questions about the story... Why did the Red Cap's scream not work the second time? Why was the Red Cap helpless when they beat his master? Looking forward to more content! Jenny Greenteeth?
It's a weird story and a very unconventional Redcap, so it doesn't really make much sense within broader Redcap lore, but the way I understand it:
• the Redcap made a pact with Soulis which placed a protective spell over him that prevented him from being harmed by metal weapons, or bound (or hung) in rope. When people attacked the castle with weapons the spell came into play.
• The reason the spell didn't work the last time was because the mob didn't bring weapons at all. There was nothing for the spell to work upon.
• Redcap was helpless because he was bound by the pact he'd made with Soulis and the circumstances of his capture fell outside of what the pact allowed him to do. This is odd, as a more conventional Redcap would have had a field day!
Glad you enjoyed the video! New content tomorrow! ⏳👀
I remember discovering them in the comic Mage by Matt Wagner. They used slings with elf-shot, and wore just the caps and hobnailed boots.
Very informative.
Keep it up buddy.
I am loving your videos.
Times for your channel to glow up.
Red caps are just old Scottish warriors told from the perspective of the British
Redcaps are very interesting indeed
She had a raspberry beret...
And now you've got that ear worm in my head! 😁

@itzybitzyspyder 😂Excellent 😂
My first band's name was redcap. Named after these bloody little creatures
This was awesome, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Plenty more on the way!
See... I'm just that kind of stupidly confident that I'm absolutely sure I'd be able to pet the Redcap Sly....
My first introduction to what a redcap is was in D&D, where we only heard the sound of his iron boots in an abandoned mine where people were going missing. Party couldn’t see well in the dark and we got surprise attacked when it dashed at us, with us thinking it was someone swinging a pick, and it blindsided the rogue who would’ve noticed it by jump kicking her into a river that flowed through the mine, and then dropping another character in the next attack
Needless to say, our group is terrified of redcaps even though we survived the encounter with it by using his boots against him and throwing him into the river after we got our companion out
We didn’t find a body, so we spent the rest of the campaign going through the woods that were around the mine, expecting that he’d make a reappearance, but there were greater dangers than him in there…
The images remind me of the little troll in the Steven King movie "Cat's Eye". Still freaks me out.
I Love that movie!! The cat was great. So were all of those twisted stories.
"Are these Red Cap beasties bullet proof?", asks the American.
I think I've got one of these things in my lineage.
Hello from San Diego California.
The Navajo have a thing called skinwalkers, they are Navajo witches said to have one foot in the physical realm and one foot in the spirit realm making them impervious to physical weapons such as swords, knives, arrows, axes and even guns. However the Navajo believe that burning something sends it to the spirit realm and that by smudging your weapon of choice with ash allows your weapon to exist in both the physical and spiritual realms allowing you to kill the skinwalker with it. If these things are a type of spirit, then smudging your gun with ash should prove effective, if you buy into the Navajo claims.
@@Princess_Celestia_ Food for thought.
Maybe silver bullets would be effective against them.
@@Princess_Celestia_ the Navajo didnt have in hand a .50 cal rifle. Even superman staggers by those.
I love when they are in stories !
This is a good yarn , 3 o clock in the morning as I am about to head off into the dark walking to work . Will make me step a bit more lively even though I don't live in Scotland...you never know 😁

@@jacoleighwessels3104 I don't care how much it costs, people shouldn't accept this.
' Unwelcome ' from 2023 is a hilarious horror film featuring Redcaps
I loved this story, awesome channel!
🙏
In the States here, we have deadly poisonous mushrooms with red caps. These mushrooms have been called all the lore names that were used in this video. I'm just curious as to if there is a connection between the creatures and the fungus..
Yes we have them here in the UK too, but I don't think there's any substantial connection. They're often linked together because of the shared red colour and a small degree of symbolic overlap but I’m not aware of any direct historical or mythological link. Still, always happy to learn more if anyone can shed further light on the topic!
@BeastsoftheOldeWorld thats kind of what I was thinking. Still, thanks for the education and entertainment.
@@squibbs5828 People often used lore and old stories as mnemonics for plants and animals on what to avoid and what was safe. It absolutely makes sense migrants would have applied what they knew from before to new things that bear a resemblance to the former, especially as warnings even children could understand. If something's named after the terrifying story chances are they aren't going to touch it.
@impishrebel5969 makes sense. Me and my 3 siblings used this code quite often. Still referring to it from time to time..
Incorrect. Hadrians wall is in England. Northern England but still England. The Antonine Wall built after is in Scotland.
Thanks for the comment! You're absolutely right-Hadrian’s Wall is located in Northern England. I mentioned it as a general reference point for a broader audience, to set the scene of conflict in the region, and since many people are more familiar with it than the lesser-known Antonine Wall. My focus in the video, though, is on the borderlands region, which has seen a lot of history tied to both England and Scotland, and where the Redcap legend fits in. Thanks for watching!
Great channel, love the video
🔥🤜💥🤛🔥
🙏
Fascinating!
How about a vid on the BROLLACHAN, too? (This is also a scary creature from Scottish folklore.)
Don't know very much about these but always love finding a new beast to research!
Iron Boots?
I thought they had a weakness to iron?
I was told a scrap of iron in your pocket could keep you safe from All Fae Spirits.
It will anger the hell out of them,
But they won't be able to approach or harm you if you carry iron with you?
Maybe it's not actually fae, but something else?
Perhaps the iron boots slow it down, as terrifying of a thought as that might be.
Maybe the boots burn
Don't be daft, the iron boots are for training like Gohan or that guy from Naruto
Perhaps they carry iron insulated from their body by leather, wooden weapon hafts, etc, and use it against other fey. Like a human might use fire against another human.
if the master dies in 1377 and the redcap unlocks the door every 7 yrs the next unlock will be 2028
"Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head" *Redcap poofs away* "Oh good I wasn't sure that one was going to work or not."
*Redcap poofs away, she-bears show up.*
I misread the thumbnail and thought it said "Redcoat" at first, and I thought, well...fair enough.
REQUEST for a Wendigo episode, pretty please

Thanks very much Nick, from a new subscriber in Lancashire.
Just happened across your channel and as I'm quite partial to folk lore and mythology decided to jump on board...👍🙂
Welcome aboard! Very new channel here, growing much quicker than anticipated, but plenty more folkloric deep dives planned and on the way!
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorld thank you, will be watching with eager anticipation of great things, best wishes and let the games commence 😉👍
I only know of the redcap from the older final fantasy games. If a human can't out muscle or out run a redcap, the games have seriously underplayed them as they are usually quite weak
I mean, we can go toe to toe with an Ifrit in Final Fantasy.
I know what you mean though.
Finally TH-cam recommends me something I'd be interested in. Really like this channel. I'm subscribed
Thank you so much for subscribing - I'm really pleased you like the channel! Loads more on the way! ⏳👀
Looks like Santa's toy makers have finally been fed up.
I hope you are going to do a story on the Vampire Haggis Clan .
Stephen Llewelyn has the story or Sir William de Soulis in his “The New World Saga” books when they crash land at Hermitage Castle. Fantastic read and a very interesting Easter egg
Auntie Ethel really knows how to pick her companions
Awesome!! Such a cool video! Great work.
I'm from near Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 but my background is part Scottish.. so this is really great to learn about
Super entertaining.. love this kinda content.
Really glad you enjoyed it! Quite a few Scottish beasties on the way over the next few months!
I've read many an odd book, in my long life so I did know about Redcaps. I had not heard the tale of Redcap Sly however. Well told.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I have fought and bested, many a "Redcap" in "Dark age of Camelot" Their appearance actually matches the description here. They appear as angry, dark little gnomes, sporting a red "stocking cap"
I met three or four of them, when i was traveling with my team to Baldur's gate.
Loch creatures who supposedly occupy these areas in the Highlands of Scotland please. Love the art work 😊 ..

Shackles of sifted sand, that could be clay or glass? Shackles of glass
That’s what I was thinking, could he possibly be bound with a fiber optic cable? A cable made of glass.
Thats crazy, my mom says I described basically what the thumbnail looks like as a kid, I don't remember, but others have seen it too💀 red glowing eyes with a pointy nose, ears and sharp teeth wearing a red cap. supposedly i seen it crawling on the ceiling at night and started crying, and held on tight to my dad as soon as he arrived, don't remember any of that at all, but I also don't remember ever being at my mom's friends ranch either
The story was bone chilling
Very interesting and also quite terrifying! Well done bro!
The imagery is brilliant 👏👌
Loving the stories too! Please keep em coming!!xx
2:45 are they immune to weapons too? Just curios if they are considered truly invinsible or just stronger than humans
Great story!
Some of this stuff like the large tooth are so oddly specific. I'm curious how they came up with that particular detail and what the significance is even supposed to be.
@BeastsoftheOldeWorld
Ok color me confused! I always thought that Red Caps are winter fae ,subjects of Queen Mab.
And as such they should be:
- vulnerable to cold iron and salt
- bound by the rules of hospitality and unable to enter a mortals home unbidden
- subject to the rule of three
- unable to directly lie
- bound by any promise they make
Could it be that I am mixing it up with some fantasy rules like d&d?
There are numerous variations around the world that share the same name, but this video is specifically about the border folklore beast. As with a lot of British folklore, centuries of Christian mythology has adapted (and in this case possibly invented) mythic creatures and their characteristics, which is possibly why the Redcap doesn't fit well within traditional Fae boundaries. These creatures are constantly adapted in modern fantasy too, further obscuring their original attributes.
A lot of what you listed out actually came into lore much much later and some of it surprisingly recently. There were no courts as such in the earliest lore I tend to read and no winter fae. Some things existed but were far different in interpretation or had much more vaguely defined rules. For instance, cold iron in some early lore where it first starts appearing it was considered offensive to certain characters, not as a vulnerability. One of the earliest I recall a _sidhe_ maiden (as in she had come from a place where people lived underground, there was no oher indication she was supernatural) had married a man on condition that he never display iron in his home. When he did, she looked at it and immediately left the home and went back to her people. I tend to read the Irish Cycles however (which do tend to share a great deal with Scottish and Welsh lore from regional exchanges), and try to trace stories back to the earliest time they were written down (think first millennia monks were the scribes). I end up seeing how things like the keeners in the earliest lore being women mourning slain heroes by singing (keening) eventually turn into banshees shrieking as omens, to modern depictations like in Supernatural where they actually are responsible for removing those they target, and it is fascinating to follow changes in lore. If you want to look things up I recommend sacred-texts website, project gutenberg, or the CELT archive of texts. Mainly CELT texts. (Or grab some university syllabuses for ancient lore and read the materials, that's pretty fun to find)
@ @BeastsoftheOldeWorld
Thank you both very much for your answers.
It is a goblin that wears a hat dyed with red blood. Usually the blood of what it has killed…Mean things they are.
There's old family lore from my mom's side about is being fea touched and descendents of the Leanan Sidhe. They say that's the only reason the Gille Fhaolain survived the battle of Sterling Bridge. We're still bloodthirsty blighters
Definitely subscribing after this. Reminds me of Fable Lore vids.

This was great
Fantastic! Love this, definitely gonna check out your channel 💪🏻

I am guessing that the poisonous mushroom is a reference.
Interesting story 😎👍
YT ads are becoming a joke.
i know so freaking stupid
Drives me nuts

I woke up half way through an ad of a full John Legend tune. I damn near threw my phone
@@diasalexandros6651 on the better side of YT ads, the entirety of the Lego Movie. On the bad side, there was a cult.
Redcaps were native American warriors in the Bald Hills wars in Humboldt County, California. Local mountains still bear the name Red Caps. I wonder if there is a connection?
What a great channel I just come across it. I’m 46 years old now, but when I was young, I used to see the little people as I knew them. I used to talk to them and play with them. My parents got used to it even they would ask me. I’ve have you seen the little people today. They are like gnomes or elves goblins I’ve seen them through most of my life. so I know these kind of things are real and I do believe in a lot of mythical creatures
Glad you're enjoying the channel! I've never seen anything myself but find these creatures and their stories fascinating nonetheless. Much more to come so hope you stick around!
@@BeastsoftheOldeWorld oh I will thank you for making me feel welcome. Always good to judge the world with an open mind. Believe in all possibilities. Most of these creatures and animals are real. It’s just that we’ve been taught that it’s all a myth.
My brother used to play in his “faerie woods “ when we were kids. I was and still am envious of what he was able to see that I couldn’t
The way you saw/see these things is the way I see people. I've always seen the true faces.
Wtf... from Scotland and 41yrs old, and never heard of a redcap my whole life
I played City of Heroes/City of Villains, on the City of Heroes Side we had a zone where the Redcaps and Tuatha de Danann fought against each other every night.
Papa smurf?!? Is that you?
Not papa smurf as those are bluecaps
Since legends and folktales always start with a grain (or more) of truth ... 😇👍
Redcap is a knickname for magic mushrroms that grow in that area, also the reason santa wears a red hat with a white tip...
Santa wears red probably because his origin is St Nicolas who was a bishop and red is the colour that Bishops wore. The white pompom wasn't common originally, early images show no pompom usually but red and black were used also.
Love the story and you now have a new subscriber
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
