Saints and sorcerers, haunted caves and bloody battles, fairy mounds and forsaken harpers – Argyll is teeming with folk tales. The region has played a key part in the history of Scotland since prehistoric times. From the Irishsettlers who established the kingdom of Dál Riata, bringing with them the Gaelic language and the tales of Finn MacCool, to the Lords of the Isles, and the warring clans, their folk tales and legends are gathered together in this richly entertaining and beautifully illustrated book by Highland-based storyteller Bob Pegg.
In a career lasting over half a century, storyteller, musician and songwriter BOB PEGG has performed in venues ranging from a Viking longhouse in the wilds of Iceland to the Royal Festival Hall in London. For sixteen years he was an arts worker in the Highlands of Scotland, organising the Tales at Martinmas festival and the Merry Dancers Storytelling Project. He has written a number of books on the themes of folklore and folk tales - three of them for The History Press - and the stories in his broad repertoire reflect the places he has visited and the cultures he has encountered.
