Beschreibung

Scotland's no' haunted. Scotland's just weel populated. There's somethin in the loch. There's somethin in the glen. There's somethin under the brig ye walk over every day, an it kens yer name. This is a full-colour illustrated field guide tae Scottish myths and legends. , 36 o' the old stories telt the way they'd be telt tae ye at closin time. The Kelpie that drags weans intae the water. The Nuckelavee, a skinless horror wi nae mercy in it, the worst thing this country ever dreamed up. Selkies, changelings, an the Bean Nighe washin the shrouds o' the deid. An aye, Nessie, who is honestly the least frightenin thing in the book. Whit's inside:. 36 legends. across six sections: the Water Beasties, the Wee Folk, Ghosts an Hauntins, Monsters an Horrors, Giants Witches an Wizards, an Auld Stories an Strange Places. A Feart Factor. rating on every entry, wan tae five, fae a wee shiver tae sleep wi the light on. The Crack. : the real history behind each story, an the actual loch, glen or graveyard ye can go an stand in yersel. Original full-colour artwork for every single legend, painted dark an moody. Coorie. , a Highland coo wi a wee tartan scarf, hidden in near every picture. He did not ask tae be here. He is daein his best. Pronunciations, so ye can say Nuckelavee oot loud withoot embarrassin yersel. This is no' a bairn's treasury an it's no' a dry academic brick. It's the folklore o' Scotland wi the patter left in: funny where it should be funny, an properly unsettlin where it shouldnae. For anybody wi Scottish blood in them, anybody who's walked a Highland glen an felt somethin watchin, folklore an mythology readers, an as a Scottish gift. that actually looks braw sittin oot on a table. Fancy hearin them instead. Scotland After Dark. on my YouTube channel, SlammDunk Productions. , narrates a fair few o' these very same tales oot loud. The book's the readin, the series is the listenin. An the free Whit Did Ye Say. app has near 1,900 Scottish words spoken by a real Scottish voice, if ye want tae hear the language said proper. Written by wan Scottish lad fae scratch. Aw the best, troops.
