The old Highland gillie appears once as a guide who described the Yule brothers. The text offers no further account of his life, relationships, or fate, and gives no details beyond his role and the designation of old.
Description
The text does not describe his physical appearance beyond identifying him as old. His height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, and distinguishing marks are unspecified. Any detailed portrait would require invention.
