Editing Aengus (section)

===Scottish folklore===
In the folklore of Scotland, Angus is the fairest son of the Beira (the [[Cailleach]]), who rules over Winter. Aengus remains in [[Tír na nÓg]] all winter until he has a dream of [[Brigid]] that compels him to search the land for her. Brigid was held in captivity by the Fairy Queen who envied her beauty and forced Brigid to complete impossible chores. Angus finally leaves Tír na nÓg on his white steed by borrowing three days from August in order to search for Brigid. After searching everywhere, he eventually finds Brigid in Beira's underground palace just as Spring is beginning; when they meet on the [[imbolc|first day of spring]], flowers begin to blossom and grass grows, and Brigid's shabby clothing is transformed into white robes with silver spangles, and her hair is garlanded with spring and summer flowers. Angus marries Brigid in a wedding feast, which is disrupted by Beira, who chases them off with storm clouds on her black steed. Eventually Beira grows old and weak and has to return to the Well of Youth for rejuvenation, where she again falls asleep, and Angus and Bride become the King and Queen of summer.<ref name="Mackenzie" />

In another folktale, it is related that Beira's son Angus contradicts all of his mother's orders in an effort to become King of the Universe. Angus is "weak minded and light headed," and in punishment Beira traps her son in the rocks, where he is forced to repeat the words of others (i.e. echo).<ref name="Mackenzie2">{{cite book |last1=Mackenzie |first1=Donald Alexander |title=Wonder Tales from Scottish Myth and Legend |date=1917 |publisher=Frederick A.
