The folklore of the Scottish Highlands is unique and very much
alive. Dr Anne Ross is a Gaelic-speaking scholar and archaeologist
who has lived and worked in crofting communities. This has enabled
her to collect information at first hand and to assess the veracity
of material already published. In this substantially revised
edition of a classic work first published 30 years ago, she
portrays the beliefs and customs of Scottish Gaelic society,
including: seasonal customs deriving from Celtic festivals; the
famous waulking songs; the Highland tradition of seers and second
sight; omens and taboos, both good and bad; and, chilling
experiences of witchcraft and the Evil Eye Rituals associated with
birth and death. Having taken her MA, MA Hons and PhD at the
University of Edinburgh, Anne Ross became Research Fellow in the
School of Scottish Studies, Edinburgh. She then rapidly established
herself as one of Britain's leading Celtic scholars. Her seminal
work is "Pagan Celtic Britain" and she has also published "Druids -
Preachers of Immortality" with Tempus Publishing.
