Whirlwinds are supposed to mark the passing of fairies. If you're quick, and can throw your left shoe, a knife, dirt from a molehill, or your bonnet into the whirlwind, the faeries will drop what they are carrying. Othertimes, the faeries might bestow on interfering mortals some kind of gift or curse.

Whirlwinds under faery power also carry people off.


Donald MacCrimmon, the legendary founder of the MacCrimmon piping school, supposedly received his famous piping ability by tossing his bonnet into a whirlwind.
