Summary

More Strange Scotland is a collection of anecdotes, facts, folklore and legends about the strangeness of that little nation on the western fringe of Europe.From fairies to witches and the frightening water horses, Scotland has a host of legends. Add haunted castles, strange pub names and devilish people to the mix, sprinkle with Aberlour spirits and the mists of Skye and then open the book.If ghostly bagpipers and unseen river monsters don't scare you off, then you may revel in the stories from this most strange of all countries. Scottish born and bred, I am strange by name and inclination. All that is strange interests me, by land and sea; folklore, real stories, real mysteries, ghosts, bogles and things that go bump in the night.I have lived in a haunted house, scanned Loch Ness for the monster and presently live in the shadow of an 800 year old monastery in the North of Scotland. Jack's Strange Tales, a series of books about folklore, history and mythology in the UK and Ireland.
