Ever fearful that their children would come to some harm from the 'Fae' or fairies, Scottish mothers would hang daisy chains around their children's necks or place iron pins in their clothing. Both were said to ward off the 'fae.' This Scottish chant would have been sung to the children by their mothers over peat fires. (Peat was cut from the land, dried and cured, and then burnt for heating and cooking in the winter time.)
