Scotland’s Stories: Historic Tales for Incredible Places

A collection of fascinating old stories associated with Scotland’s amazing places. Everybody loves stories and Scotland is full of them. Every town, village, glen, loch, nook and cranny has a tale to tell and it’s these stories that bring those places to life. Scotland’s Stories is the key to unlocking those legends and seeing these already incredible places in a new way. Loch Garve looks different once you know there’s a Kelpie lurking somewhere in its depths. There’s a new appreciation for the iconic Eilean Donan Castle after learning it was built by a man who spoke with birds. An empty moor or wooded gorge is easily brought to life with the clashing sounds of a battle fought long ago. Based on a popular travel blog from storyteller Graeme and Molly the Labrador, this will appeal to all who love history, folklore and Scotland. AUTHOR: Graeme is a storyteller with a passion for Scotland’s history and folklore.
