ghillie

Highland fishing guide

A ghillie is a Scottish fishing or hunting guide who assists sportsmen on estates, particularly in the Highlands.

The term extends to ghillie shoes—soft leather footwear with laces that wrap around the ankle, worn for Scottish country dancing.

A ghillie suit is camouflage clothing covered with loose strips of fabric or netting resembling foliage, used by hunters and military snipers to blend into natural environments.

Also spelled gillie.
