Scotland's folktales are rooted in a powerful oral tradition where imagination, landscape and language intertwine. In this vibrant collection, Neil Philip brings together more than 100 stories passed down through generations -- from the wild Highlands and Islands to the traditions of the Lowlands.
Meet unforgettable figures such as Kate Crackernuts, the herdsmen of Lochbule, the Black Laird, the Milk-white Doo, Oisean, Mac Iain Direach and the mischievous Whuppity Stoorie. Their tales carry the magic, mystery and history of Scotland's turbulent past.
This captivating collection offers:
- Over 100 classic and lesser-known tales from every corner of Scotland.
- A rich mix of myth, legend and supernatural lore, alive with witches, giants, fairies, heroes and shapeshifters.
- Stories deeply tied to Scotland's landscapes -- its cliffs, islands, lochs and ancient ruins.
- A celebration of Gaelic and Lowland storytelling traditions, faithfully gathered from centuries of oral and written sources.
- An immersive introduction to Scotland's cultural soul, ideal for readers of folklore, mythology and traditional tales.
A timeless collection for anyone seeking to explore the wonder, wit and wildness of Scotland's folklore.
