SCOTTISH FOLKLORE (PB)

Scotland has a rich inheritance of folklore, and the nation’s greatest writers have been influenced by its superstitions, ghost stories and traditional tales. Robert Burns, Walter Scott, James Hogg and Robert Louis Stevenson all used Scottish folklore in their work. This book traces the roots of Scottish folklore and explores key elements such as travellers’ tales and customs, Arthurian legend, stories of magical beasts, demons and witches, and beliefs associated with the natural world.
