Legends And Myths, from Scotland

[Nancy-Raven]

I like so much my book on celtic legends and myths.I read those about Scotland first,I start Ireland wednesday.I try to look on amazon to find only legend and myth from Scotland but a bit hard and not a lot of choice.I ask the same question on the book stop but I will probably get a ask here as an answer.Is there anyone who know a book on myths and legends only from Scotland or mostly about it?I like the story about the kelpie and the fomorii.

www.sacredtexts.com has a lot of Celtic lore. You might check there. I know for a fact there's a lot of Irish and Welsh lore there...

Here is another interesting read about our mythical enchanting Scotland....

Great water monsters and mer-folk
DIANE MACLEAN

WATER-DWELLING beasties abound in Scotland. Monsters and mermaids frolic and swim in our lochs and seas from the Highlands to Lowlands. Some are shy, while others seem to bask in the limelight.

The one thing that connects them is that they've all been spotted. They've all been recorded and noted. And, furthermore, there are people out there who believe they exist.

No review of Scottish beasties could start anywhere else but with the Loch Ness Monster, or "Nessie" to her friends (and there are many of them). She has appeared in legend since the sixth century, but the building of a new road around the loch - just southwest of Inverness - in the 1930's brought her international fame. Sightings of this long, humped lady have been frequent ever since she was famously sighted in 1934 by a London surgeon who had the foresight to snap off a couple of photos ? and the sense to sell them to a daily paper.
