Books in the Waverley Scottish Classics series

Scotland is a nation made up of many peoples and cultures. This diversity of cultural influence is reflected in Scotland's vast store of myths and legends. This book contains a selection of these; some ancient, some obscure in origin; and, others based on fact.

Lists towns, villages, islands, mountains, lochs and rivers of Scotland. This book explains how, over successive generations with political, economic and cultural changes, while Scots became established, place names were not renewed or translated - they were merely Scotticised.

Features green ladies, grey ladies, spectral kings and queens, mischievous ghosts, whispering ghosts, calm poltergeists, wailing washerwomen, phantom dogs, and other assorted ghosts and stories. This book captures Scotland's vibrant storytelling tradition, with tales of sightings, noises, furniture in disarray and spectres past and present.
