This fully illustrated guide explores all things strange and
uncanny, paranormal and peculiar in Aberdeenshire, one of the most
scenic parts of Scotland (which also includes part of the
Cairngorms National Park). Historic sites and ancient
monuments--such as the innumerable stone circles and castles--are
surveyed in an enchanting and accessible way. Descriptions of what
to observe and explore are married with detailed "site histories"
of the supernatural and mysterious. These include locations of
witchcraft and fairy hills, eerie contemporary sculptures, and
spooky long-abandoned graveyards. There are tales of big cats and
ape-men, murders and bodysnatching, and details of modern fire
festivals (including the burning of a Wickerman). This is an
indispensable companion for anyone journeying into the marvels and
mysteries of Aberdeenshire.
