Description

The folklore of the Scottish Highlands is a unique and living tradition. Dr Anne Ross, a Gaelic-speaking scholar and archaeologist, brings to life the beliefs and customs of Scottish Gaelic society through her extensive research. This revised edition of a seminal work explores the seasonal customs, waulking songs, seers, omens, taboos, and experiences of witchcraft and the Evil Eye Rituals that are an integral part of the region's cultural heritage. Dr Ross's expertise, gained through her work in crofting communities and her academic background at the University of Edinburgh, lends credibility to her portrayal of Scottish Gaelic society. Her work, including "Pagan Celtic Britain" and "Druids - Preachers of Immortality", has established her as a leading authority on Celtic studies. This book provides a fascinating insight into the customs and traditions of the Scottish Highlands, shedding light on the region's rich cultural heritage.
