Description

Which misunderstood creature still lives in Leith, hidden away in their home?

Who is the sleeping lady, resting under Roslin Castle after all this time?

What man could sell his own sister’s dead body?

Where does the headless coachman steer his carriage on a stormy night?

Did an ogre really stalk the Pentland Hills?

What is the Portal Tree?

These are just some of the secrets waiting to be discovered within this collection of sixteen folk tales. Stretching from the mysterious Moorfoot Hills all the way to the magical coast of Portobello, each story unearths a new place to visit and explore. Some tales are magical, some are historical, some uncover the mysteries of mythical creatures, some are about animals and some will help you find the magic hidden in everyday life.
