Scottish Traditional Tales

Taken from a variety of sources, from the Hebridean Gaelic tradition to recordings of Lowland cairds (travelling people), some are well-known tales which have equivalents in other cultures and languages, whilst others are unique to Scotland. The tales are arranged by theme: – tall tales – hero tales – legends of ghosts and evil spirits – tales of fate and religion – fairies and sea-folk – children’s tales – trickster tales – tales of clan feuds – robber tales This is a welcome reprint of a book that quickly established itself as a classic. It was previously published by Polygon.
