From Celtic myth to gothic horror, this book contains Scottish folk tales of love and loss in all shapes and forms. Stories that will warm the heart, like the princess who loves her father more than salt, to ones that will bring a tear to the eye, like the tragic tale of how a chieftain's son was tricked into killing his true love with an arrow. There is a Scottish Cinderella, a loyal broonie, and a fair knight abducted by the Queen of the Fairies but saved by love. The woman whose love for a selkie man was broken by an evil spell and the girl whose tears and lamentation for her dead lover bring his restless ghost back to carry her off to join him in his grave.
