Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The richness of the folklore of the Highlands of Scotland is due, in part, to the fact that so much of it has been handed down by oral tradition. It is characteristic of the Gaelic spirit: their love of words, their love of nature, and perhaps above all, their love of their homeland. Anne Ross, a Celtic scholar who is also fluent in Gaelic, has lived and worked in the Highlands, which enabled her to collect information first hand and assess the veracity of material already published. In The Folklore of the Scottish Highlands she portrays the beliefs and customs of Scottish Gaelic society including seasonal customs, the famous waulking songs, the Highland belief in seers and second sight, omens and taboos, witchcraft and the Evil Eye, death rituals, and many more Scottish Highland traditions and beliefs. The folklore of the Highlands is unique, fascinating, and as Ann Ross proves, very much alive"--Jacket flap.

Download or read book The Lore of Scotland written by Sophia Kingshill and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland's rich past and varied landscape have inspired an extraordinary array of legends and beliefs, and in The Lore of Scotland Jennifer Westwood and Sophia Kingshill bring together many of the finest and most intriguing: stories of heroes and bloody feuds, tales of giants, fairies, and witches, and accounts of local customs and traditions. Their range extends right across the country, from the Borders with their haunting ballads, via Glasgow, site of St Mungo's miracles, to the fateful battlefield of Culloden, and finally to the Shetlands, home of the seal-people. More than simply retelling these stories, The Lore of Scotland explores their origins, showing how and when they arose and investigating what basis - if any - they have in historical fact. In the process, it uncovers the events that inspired Shakespeare's Macbeth, probes the claim that Mary King's Close is the most haunted street in Edinburgh, and examines the surprising truth behind the fame of the MacCrimmons, Skye's unsurpassed bagpipers. Moreover, it reveals how generations of Picts, Vikings, Celtic saints and Presbyterian reformers shaped the myriad tales that still circulate, and, from across the country, it gathers together legends of such renowned figures as Sir William Wallace, St Columba, and the great warrior Fingal. The result is a thrilling journey through Scotland's legendary past and an endlessly fascinating account of the traditions and beliefs that play such an important role in its heritage.
