Fat Lips

Fat Lips

Fat Lips is the name given to a legendary spirit dwelling in Dryburgh Abbey in Berwickshire, England. He may well have been a Red Cap.

The spirit was associated with a hermit woman living in the Abbey sometime after the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, whom claimed that the spirit regularly conversed with her and kept the cell she lived in dry by stamping moisture away from the ground with his iron boots.
