Scotland is a beautiful land proud of its culture and history. From the days of old, tales have been passed down from generations, sparking a revival of these charming and original stories as time goes by.
In this beautifully bound collection organised by region are some of the most talented local Scottish storytellers.
Combining mythology, legend and folklore with the geography and history of Scotland, this book is a celebration of Scottish culture. I was particularly pleased with the emphasis of the Scots language and dialect featured within some of these tales.
With a vast range from the magical and humorous to the moralistic and outright horrific, there is a story for everyone within this eclectic collection of Scottish Tales.

I absolutely enjoyed reading the book, loved most of the stories but ‘Kate Crackernuts’ was my favourite out of them. :)

For someone who has long had an interest in Scottish literature, it's taken me a long time to read some folk tales. I really enjoyed this book. The stories taken from different areas reflect the different cultures and places.
