Shoogulaboot Characters

Sandy

Sandy is a young Scottish Highland boy who lives in the town of Shoogulaboot. He is around 7 to 8 years old and lives with his mother, father, granny, and wolfdog, Willow.

Willow

Willow is a trusty wolfdog and Sandy’s family pet. She is a lovable, feisty, thrill-seeking animal who is always by the side of her best friend, Sandy.

Kelsey

Kelsey is a young kelpie who lives in the mysterious waters of Shoogulaboot. He is a magical, shape-shifting creature that takes the form of a horse.

Gallus the Haggis

Gallus the Haggis is a very wacky, confident, cocky, and ‘gallus’ little critter. He is the descendant of two different breeds of haggis, small rodent-like creatures that are native to Scotland. He has the magical ability to stretch his legs to extraordinary lengths whenever he needs to.

Murdo MacGreed

Murdo MacGreed is the local taxman and laird of the town of Shoogulaboot. He is a grumpy, miserable, miserly old man who doesn’t get on well with the townsfolk, and they don’t view him very favourably either.

Bo

Bo (short for Bonnie) might seem like a beautiful, elegant, lovely lady, but anyone who makes that assumption would be dangerously mistaken. She is, in fact, a ‘She-bite’, a type of vampire fairy that enjoys luring men into dancing with her in the forest, only to make a meal of them afterwards.

Quarrel & Bargy

Quarrel & Bargy are the fiercely loyal, but not-so-bright, henchmen of Murdo MacGreed. He is their commander and leader, which means they do everything he says. This often sees them dragged into Murdo’s fiendish schemes and plots.

Malky

Malky is a big, lovable giant mountain monster who lives on top of Ben Malky, the summit near the town of Shoogulaboot.

Finlay

Finlay is the local carpenter in Shoogulaboot. He loves to build things and enjoys helping Sandy and Willow with the quests and challenges they face.

Toatie

Toatie is a little magical sprite from the fairy realm of Shoogulaboot. She is feisty, nosy, sneaky, cheeky, crafty, and… toatie! (A Scots word meaning “tiny” or “small”.)

Cushy

Cushy is a giant, green puppy who is adorable, cute, and lovable. The problem is that he is actually a Cù-Sìth (Gaelic for “Fairy Dog”), a ferocious species of fairy animal the size of a bull that roams the moors and woodlands of Scotland.

Funnyhorn

Funnyhorn is a magical unicorn who lives in the hills surrounding Shoogulaboot. She is a curious and adorable little creature who meets Sandy and Willow unexpectedly in a magical meadow.

Auld Angus

Auld Angus is the clan chief of the MacCarrot Clan and the senior elder of Shoogulaboot. He is a zany, silly, eccentric, and larger-than-life figure within the town.

Bessie

Bessie is a lovable and benevolent loch monster who lives in Loch Bess in Shoogulaboot. She is an ancient, magical, water-dwelling creature with the power to control the weather. Whether it rains or shines is influenced by Bessie’s emotions. However surprising it may seem, it only rains when she is happy.
