Black Donald

Black Donald (Scottish Gaelic: "Domhnall Dubh" or "Domnuill-dhu") is a Highland colloquialism for the Devil in Scottish mythology. [MacLeod, Fiona (1895). [http://www.sundown.pair.com/SundownShores/Mountain%20Lovers/chapter02.htm Mountain Lovers] Boston: Roberts Bros.] The defining characteristic of Black Donald is his cloven feet, which betray whatever disguise he assumes. [Black Donald. (n.d.). Retrieved Sep. 28, 2008, from [http://www.pantheon.org/articles/b/black_donald.html Encyclopedia Mythica] ]
