The Highlands of Scotland are steeped in traditional stories. Even in today's world of the internet and supermarkets, ancient legends--dating back to the times of the Gaels, Picts, and Vikings--are still told around the fireside.
These are tales of the daoine sìth--the fairy people--and their homes in the green hills; of great and bloody battles; of encounters with the last wolves in Britain; of lonely ghosts; and of supernatural beings such as the selkie, the mermaid, and the Fuath, Scotland's own Bigfoot. In this vivid journey through the Highland landscape--from towns and villages to the most remote corners, by mountain, cliff, peatland, and glen--storyteller and folklorist Bob Pegg leads readers along old and new roads to places where legend and landscape are inseparably entwined.BOB PEGG is a storyteller, musician, and songwriter whose career spans more than half a century. He has performed everywhere from a Viking longhouse in the wilds of Iceland to London's Royal Festival Hall. For sixteen years, he worked as an arts officer in the Highlands of Scotland, where he organised the Tales at Martinmas festival and the Merry Dancers Storytelling Project.
Bob has written numerous books on folklore and folk tales--three of them published by The History Press--and his rich repertoire of stories reflects the many places he has visited and the diverse cultures he has encountered.Thanks for subscribing!
