Argyll Folk Tales

Folk Tales

by Bob Pegg

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 Irish settlers 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 book by Highland-based storyteller Bob Pegg.

It's such a cool experience to read things which are set in local places that you know and are familiar with. Amazing collection of stories!

An accidentally compelling argument for why we should maintain the spoken work tradition of folk tales
