The Scottish spiritual equivalent of the leprechaun, the glisk is said to be the one that awakes you from your dreams just as you get a glimpse of that dream's *treasure, begin to realize a long forgotten memory, or will wake you just as a long departed loved one is about reveal secrets from the past. It is also responsible for all the supposed sightings of the Loch Ness monster, as the glisk can evoke fleeting images from out of the subconscious into the mind's eye. Yes, they do wear underpants under kilts, but the glisk will endeavor to make you see something else.
