Cailleach

Cailleach, also known as Beara, was a goddess in Ancient Celtic mythology. She is often portrayed as the founding deity of Scotland. Cailleach is sometimes regarded as the daughter of the Irish moon god, Elier mac Delbáed. She was worshipped as a heavenly hag, and supreme being.

Name

Cailleach ('old woman' or 'hag' in modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic) [1] comes from the Old Irish Caillech ('veiled one'), an adjectival form of caille ('veil'), an early loan from Latin pallium,[2] 'woollen cloak'.[3][4][5][6]
