"Scottish Myths and Legends" is an entertaining taste of the feast of stories that Scotland has to offer.Fairy folk, witches, giants, monsters, tales of heroic princes, magic and miraculous feats - all are the stuff of the myths and legends of Scotland.Scotland is a nation made up of many peoples and cultures.This diversity of cultural influence is reflected in Scotland's vast store of myths and legends.This book contains a fascinating selection of these; some recent, some ancient, some obscure in origin and others based (however loosely) on fact.We invite you to revel in engaging tales of selkies, kelpies, glaistigs, fairy queens and changelings; wonder at the mysteries that may be hidden in the depths of Scottish lochs; and, shiver at tales of supernatural disappearances, deadly creatures and grisly deeds, and if you ever meet someone called Sawney Bean, who lived in a cave with his family and ate people - run for your life!
