==Mentions in literature== Garrons are mentioned a number of times in [[George R. R. Martin]]'s fantasy series ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]''. There, Garrons are used in cold mountainous areas, generally to the North near the Wall.<ref>{{cite book|last=Martin|first=George R.

S. Surtees]] in the first chapter of ''Jorrocks′ Jaunts and Jollities''. The author Nigel Tranter mentions Garrons frequently in his novels about Scottish history, for example "Macbeth, the King". In the Irish folktale "The Tailor and the Three Beasts", the tailor meets a garron along the way who asks the tailor: "Would you make me a hole ... where I could go a' hiding whenever the people are for bringing me to the mill or the kiln".<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Tailor and the Three Beasts {{!}} An Cartlann |url=https://cartlann.org/authors/douglas-hyde/a-collection-of-irish-gaelic-folk-stories/the-tailor-and-the-three-beasts/ |access-date=2024-10-04 |language=en-US}}</ref>
