Bran and Sceólang ("raven" and "survivor” ) are the hounds of Fionn mac Cumhaill in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. The dogs are described as being mostly white, with purple haunches, a crimson tail, blue feet, and standing as tall as Fionn's shoulder. Bran is male, while Sceólang is female. The hounds' mother, Uirne, was transformed into a dog while pregnant, hence the canine birth of her twin children. While Uirne is returned to full humanity after giving birth to her pups, Bran and Sceólang remain hounds throughout the duration of their mythos. As Uirne is the sister of Fionn's mother Muirne, Bran and Sceólang would be their masters' cousins.

  • Bran and Sceólang ("raven" and "survivor” ) are the hounds of Fionn mac Cumhaill in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. The dogs are described as being mostly white, with purple haunches, a crimson tail, blue feet, and standing as tall as Fionn's shoulder. Bran is male, while Sceólang is female. The hounds' mother, Uirne, was transformed into a dog while pregnant, hence the canine birth of her twin children. While Uirne is returned to full humanity after giving birth to her pups, Bran and Sceólang remain hounds throughout the duration of their mythos. As Uirne is the sister of Fionn's mother Muirne, Bran and Sceólang would be their masters' cousins. The dogs appear throughout the Fenian Cycle. In particular, throughout Fionn's hunts, it is mentioned that Bran is always by his side, while certain later folk tales suggest that the dogs grew up alongside each other. Per legend, they were the first to discover Fionn's son Oisín wandering naked in the forest. Sceólang eventually dies in the 'Chase of Thrush Glen', after pursuing a half-black and half-white doe. Bran, meanwhile, chooses to die by drowning after being struck by Fionn in an impulsive moment. (en)
  • San Fhiannaíocht i miotaseolaíocht na nGael, cúnna Fhionn mhic Cumhaill ba ea Bran agus Sceólang (Fiach Dubh agus Scéalaí). Is firinscneach é Bran agus baininscneach í Sceólang. Rinneadh cú d'Uirne, máthair na beirte, agus í torrach. Athróidh Uirne ar ais go riocht daonna tar éis di na caoláin a thabhairt ar an saol, agus bhí Bran agus Sceólang ina gcúnna ar feadh a saolta. Óir go deirfiúr le Muirne máthair Fhionn í Uirne, a dó is a dó le chéile a bhí Bran and Sceólang, agus a máistir. Feictear na cúnna ar feadh na Fiannaíochta. Insítear go raibh siad go formhór bán, le leis corcra, eireabaill chorcairdhearga, cosa gorma, agus chomh hard le gualainn Fhionn. Agus Fionn i mbun seilge, bhíodh Bran i gcónaí i dteannta leis. Dar le seanscéal, ba iadsan a tháinig ar Oisín mac Fhionn ar fáin lomnocht san fhoraois. Insítear go bhfuair Sceólang bás ag 'Fiach Ghleann an Smólaigh', ar tóir eilite bánduibhe. Chuir Bran lámh ina bhás féin de bhá, tar éis d'Fhionn buille tobann a thabhairt dó. (ga)
