The Lore of Scotland: a Guide to Scottish Legends Free FREE THE LORE OF SCOTLAND: A GUIDE TO SCOTTISH LEGENDS PDF Jennifer Beatrice Westwood,Sophia Kingshill | 576 pages | 01 Aug 2011 | Cornerstone | 9780099547167 | English | London, United Kingdom Scottish myths, folklore and legends | Culture Trip stands with Black Lives Matter. This notorious stretch of highway has been the site of supernatural happenings for over fifty years, with terrified eyewitnesses reporting screaming phantoms, ghostly parades and even The Lore of Scotland: A Guide to Scottish Legends sightings. The most famous incident occurred inwhen two truck drivers testified to having seen a mysterious van swerving along the road, and wild animals lunging towards their windshield — only for everything to suddenly disappear before their very eyes. Due to these paranormal sightings, many long-distance truck drivers avoid this section of the highway at all costs. Residing in the wild birch forests of Gairloch and Loch a Druing is the Ghillie Dhu, a solitary male faerie. Clad in leaves and moss, the Ghillie Dhu actively avoids contact with humans, but is known to behave aggressively towards adults who dare trespass into his The Lore of Scotland: A Guide to Scottish Legends home. He is, however, very gentle towards children; in the late 18th The Lore of Scotland: A Guide to Scottish Legends, a young local girl named Jessie Macrae became lost in the The Lore of Scotland: A Guide to Scottish Legends woods and was found by Ghillie Dhu, who comforted her and led her back home. Though the Devil usually won, one night Tam gained the upper hand. Many subsequent guests to Crathes Castle have also witnessed the Green Lady and her child; though her exact identity remains a mystery, local lore goes that she was a servant girl who fell pregnant by the scion of the Burnett family, the owners of the castle, and was murdered to protect the family name. Indeed, renovations to the castle in the 18th century reportedly unearthed the skeletal remains of a woman and child underneath the very fireplace they continue to haunt, hundreds of years later. Each casket held a small human effigy, intricately carved, with expressively painted faces and carefully sewn clothes and shoes. As some of these figures were already decaying when they were discovered, the coffins must have been created over several years. Now immortalised into thirty- metre-high statues, the famous Kelpies sculpture in Falkirk towers majestically over drivers along the M9 motorway. These shape-shifting demon horses, however, are a great deal more sinister than their monument gives them credit. As its target rushes to the shore, the kelpie lunges and drags them to their watery grave. The only way to save yourself from the kelpie is to assert your mastery over it, by grabbing its reins and tear the bridle from its back. Its most infamous resident, however, is Sir George Mackenzie, widely known to be the most aggressive poltergeist in Edinburgh. After his mausoleum was broken into by a homeless man seeking shelter inthere have been hundreds of documented cases of people approaching his tomb and mysteriously collapsing, or being inexplicably cut and bruised. Thus it seems that Bluidy Mackenzie lives on, even after death. On 16 Aprilthe Jacobite Rising came to a brutal and bloody end on the fields of Culloden, as Scottish forces fighting for independence were slaughtered by the British army, ending a centuries-long struggle between the two nations. And every anniversary of the Battle of Culloden, there are those who swear that they can hear the clamour of swords and the sounds of men dying on the battlefield once more. Inthe Japanese psychic Aiko Gibo visited the close, and was struck by the spirit of a small, unhappy girl who said her name was Annie. According to Annie, her mother had abandoned her in the close when Annie began exhibiting symptoms of the plague. South of the city in the neighbourhood of Gorbals is the sprawling Glasgow Necropolis, with nearly fifty thousand souls laid to rest on its green hilltop. The solemnity of this place was disturbed one September evening inwhen a policeman responded to reports that hundreds of children had descended upon the cemetery. Select currency. My Plans.

    FREE ON THE TRAIL OF SCOTLANDS MYTHS AND LEGENDS PDF Stuart McHardy | 152 pages | 01 Apr 2005 | LUATH PRESS LTD | 9781842820490 | English | Edinburgh, United Kingdom Myths and legends play a major role in Scotland's culture and history. From before the dawn of history, the early ancestors of the people we now know as the Scots, built impressive monuments which have caught the imagination of those who have followed in their wake. Stone circles, chambered cairns, brochs and vitrified forts stir within us something primeval and stories have been born from their mystical qualities. Scottish myths and legends have drawn their inspiration from many sources. Every land has its tales of dragons, but Scotland is an island country, bound to the sea. Cierein Croin, a gigantic sea serpent is said to be the largest creature ever. Yes, Nessie is classified as a dragon although she may be a member of that legendary species, the each-uisge or water horse. However, the cryptozoologists will swear that she is a leftover plesiosaurus. The Dalriadan Scots shared more than the Gaelic tongue with their trading partners in Ireland. They were great storytellers and had a culture rich in tales of heroes and mythical creatures. Many of the similarities between Irish and Scottish folklore can be accounted for by their common Celtic roots. Tales of Finn On the Trail of Scotlands Myths and Legends Cumhall and his warrior band, the Fianna are as commonplace on the Hebrides as in Ireland. Many of the myths centre around the cycle of nature and the passing of the seasons with the battle between light and darkness, summer and winter.

  • Scottish Myths and Legends Fact File
    Scottish Myths and Legends Fact File The Loch Ness Monster The Loch Ness Monster or Nessie is said to be a creature that lives in the waters of Loch Ness, near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Loch Ness is the second largest loch in Scotland by surface area and it contains more fresh water than all of the lakes in England and Wales combined. It is the second deepest loch in Scotland; 230 metres at its deepest point, so there’s plenty of room for a monster! The first recorded sighting of the monster was in AD565, when it supposedly attacked and killed a local man, before being stopped from attacking another man by St Columba. Over the years, rumours have spread around the world about strange events and sightings at Loch Ness. Photographs have been studied, eyewitness accounts examined and boats have scanned the deep waters looking for evidence but, to this day, there is no definite proof that the monster is real. The water of the loch is dark and murky due to the high levels of peat in the surrounding soil. This makes visibility poor and adds to the difficulty of getting a clear photograph underwater. However, many genuine observers have been utterly convinced they have seen a monster in the water. Is Nessie a species of Plesiosaur from ancient times? As a result of the monster stories and sightings, Loch Ness has become a popular tourist destination and people can now hop on a boat and travel around the loch looking for the famous monster themselves.
