Cutty Sark literally means short night dress. The figurehead on the Cutty Sark is based on the Robbie Burns poem, 'Tam O'Shanter'. In the poem, a group of witches chase Tam after he calls out to them during a dance. He makes his escape on his horse Meg, but just as he reaches safety, one of the witches, Nannie, grabs Megs tail and pulls it clean off. This is why Cutty Sark's figurehead is holding a horse's tail. Also, the witch was rather beautiful and very fast - as was the vessel she is named after!
