Talk:Trow

Trows are awesome little things! though I doubt anyone will of heard of them unless you happen to have Shetland or Orkney heritage (I have Shetland heritage thanks to my mothers) - as sad as it may sound people still believed in these things well into the 1900s.. these days the belief has gone but the stories are still alive: Trows are one of the many fanciful ways locals explained things like standing stones and burial mounds - the basis of the Trows may also be factual in the fact Picts (who were small and "ugly" compared to the tall Norse settlers) would of been encountered by people in the past and of gone into hiding, thus creating the myth of a "hidden world" amidst the fields and hills.. I'm not so sure on them being related to trolls like the article says however as they are more like ghosts than the traditional "monsters" that trolls are described as..
