Scottish Myths & Legends

By Daniel Allison

Book Overview

THE BLUE-SKINNED OLD WOMAN WHO MADE THE MOUNTAINS. KELPIES, SELKIES AND THE MAKERS OF DREAMS.

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.
