Scottish Myths & Legends
Scottish Myths & Legends
From the jagged peaks of Skye to green border glens, Scotland's stories are as sublime as the landscape itself.
The Queen of the Fairies gallops through the forest. Seal-women dance on moonlit shores. A prince seeks the fabled Battle of the Birds while severed heads sing at the edge of the world.
From comic tales to impossible quests, these stories speak of a world where every loch, moor and seashore is a doorway to the Otherworld.'One of the best collections I have ever read'
