Scottish Myths

Scottish mythology in large part shares its characters and tales with the mythology of Ireland, from the Ulster Cycle to the adventures of Fionn mac Cumhaill. But Scotland also possesses its own folklore and tales featuring kings, water spirits, selkies, sea monsters and fairies. From the Gaelic heroism of 'Conall Cra Bhuidhe', tales of fairy folk such as 'The Smith and the Fairies' the classic ghost story of 'The Fiddler and the Bogle of Bogandoran', to a tale of unrequited love, murder and rescue "A Legend of Invershin," this entertaining collection gathers the ancient myths and fairy tales featuring all manner of creatures into a uniquely Caledonian set of stories.
