A leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán) is a type of fairy in Irish folklore and another symbol of Ireland, usually taking the form of an old man, dressed in a green coat. Like other fairy creatures, leprechauns have been linked to the Irish mythology.The Leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their release.
Found out more visiting the National Leprochaun Museum.
