The Highlands of Scotland are steeped in traditional stories. Even in today's world of the internet and supermarkets, ancient legends--dating back to the times of the Gaels, Picts, and Vikings--are still told around the fireside.
These are tales of the daoine sìth--the fairy people--and their homes in the green hills; of great and bloody battles; of encounters with the last wolves in Britain; of lonely ghosts; and of supernatural beings such as the selkie, the mermaid, and the Fuath, Scotland's own Bigfoot. In this vivid journey through the Highland landscape--from towns and villages to the most remote corners, by mountain, cliff, peatland, and glen--storyteller and folklorist Bob Pegg leads readers along old and new roads to places where legend and landscape are inseparably entwined.
