Field Guide Pages, The Highlands

Abandoned Bothy - This broken-down old bothy used to shelter travelling witches and wizards from the elements. Over time, however, the surrounding bog began to reclaim the bothy. These days, it only plays host to the odd Dugbog or two.

Acromantula Venom - Both extremely valuable and extremely poisonous, this venom is secreted from the pincers of the carnivorous Acromantula. For obvious reasons, it is much easier to harvest the venom from a dead spider than a living one.

Alihotsy Fudge - Made with the leaves of the Alihotsy tree, this fudge is a delightful confection that causes uncontrollable laughter.

Antique Compass - Unfortunately, the fact that this antique Muggle compass was dropped here means the Muggle who dropped it is probably wandering through Wales by now.

Antique Horn - This oddly-shaped horn was used centuries ago by a Muggle boatman to keep 'monsters' in the water at bay as travellers crossed by boat. Of course, it did no such thing, as no magical water beast would be repelled by a horn. More likely, the boatman was simply lucky - until he wasn't.

Beehives - The wizarding world needs honey for their tea as much as the Muggle world does.

Broken Binoculars - These broken binoculars were left here by Muggles attempting to track what they suspected was an odd-looking bear but what was likely a Demiguise. They could not for the life of them understand how something could seem to disappear so quickly.

Chocolate Frogs - Likely left behind by a Hogwarts student visiting Hogsmeade, these enchanted confections hop around like real frogs and each comes with a collectible card featuring a famous witch or wizard.

Cinnamon Bark - It seems that at least one goblin finds the food at this encampment at bit bland and has taken to adding cinnamon bark to their stew to liven it up.

Doxy Egg - Stolen by poachers for use in potions, these black eggs come from a Doxy - a magical beast sometimes mistaken for a fairy.

Dragon Skeleton - This dragon skeleton may have been here for years - or it could be the result of recent poaching activity. Be wary.

Enchanted Scarecrow - This mischievous-looking scarecrow was long ago enchanted to watch over the garden and ward off crows but now simply harasses gardeners by shouting insults at them while they work.

Giant Shade Tree - This gorgeous tree has served as a home to countless Bowtruckles, fairies, and even, rumour has it, an Augurey or two. Many simply enjoy it for its shade.

Ginger Root - The barkeep in Keenbridge keeps a stock of ginger root handy to fend off his customers' nausea - and keep them imbibing a bit longer.

Groundskeeper's Tools - One might surmise that this set of tools could be enchanted to create all sorts of furnishings for a cosy hut - as large as the occupant may need.

Hebridean Black Scale - The Hebridean Black is a large dragon that can grow to over nine metres in length. A large, rough scale, originally belonging to one of these beasts, is one of the prized possessions that Archie Bickle keeps in his hideout.

Hogsmeade Station Ticket Office - This station has stood here since the early 1800s when Minister for Magic Ottaline Gambol acquired a steam engine train to transport students to Hogwarts. The station appeared in Hogsmeade virtually overnight just after the train did. The operation involved using a lot of Memory Charms on Muggle workers and the largest mass Concealment Charm ever performed in Britain.

Jewelled Brooch - The gorgeous brooch depicts a magical bird of some sort. Which particular magical bird is unclear, but some believe it's meant to represent one of medieval Irish druidess Cliodna's birds who sang the sick to sleep.

Lace Doily - The locals say that this doily was left as tribute to a beloved house-elf who dreamed of one day wearing it.

Lovage Bouquet - This memorial serves as a grim reminder of the power of magical beasts. Years ago, a young witch was killed here by a Graphorn as she awaited her true love. That love now returns to this spot to remember her and leave a bouquet of lovage, her favourite plant.

Murtlap Tentacles - Murtlap tentacles are a rare potion ingredient known to raise resistance to certain Dark charms and contain healing properties. An overdose, however, can cause purple ear-hair.

Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder - When thrown in the air, this powder from Peru creates an impenetrable darkness resistant to most light-creation spells. The Ashwinders have been using it to steal from surrounding areas without detection.

Practice Dummies - The residents of Feldcroft sometimes use these to practise their spell-casting - especially in light of recent goblin attacks.

Pungous Onion Bulb - Pungous Onion is a particularly powerful onion used in some potions, including the Cure for Boils. It's best not to touch it with bare hands.

Runespoor Egg - Produced via the mouth of the three-headed snake, Runespoor eggs are known to enhance mental agility and as such are often used in potions.

Spider Parts - It seems someone has been collecting Acromantula parts for profit. Lucrative, perhaps, if one is willing to risk one's life to obtain the required inventory.

Spider Sign - Evidently a spider infestation has made this area particularly treacherous. One wonders how many areas could use a sign like this.

Squib Cottage - This idyllic country cottage belongs to an elderly Squib who chose to live in the wizarding world rather than try to integrate with Muggles like some Squibs do. He is content to farm his land non-magically and supply local hamlets with fresh fruits and vegetables, although he will accept the occasional Engorgement Charm on a gourd or two.

The Feldcroft Well - The well in Feldcroft ran dry some four hundred years ago during a great drought. Sadly, many perished as a result, including at least one young boy whose father refused to speak for years thereafter. Legend says that all was saved when a group of benevolent witches and wizards used a never-before-seen powerful magic to restore water to the region.

The Tilted House - The locals call this the Tilted House due to the odd angle at which it sits wrapped in the roots of the overhanging tree.
