Selected Highland folktales
"There are few corners of the Scottish Highlands and Islands without some ancient tale or legend. The late R Macdonald Robertson collected material for more than a quarter of a century--in many cases collected it from the last in the line passing on a rich oral tradition. The generous selection in this volume is arranged under the headings of Fairies, Haunted Houses, Witchcraft, Monsters, Merfolk, The Highland Vision and Miscellaneous Tales. Apart from the fascination of the stories in themselves, the visitor to the country or the reader who knows it well, will find that they add much to his interest in Scotland." -- Provided by publisher
