Product Description
A ghostly furniture van is seen trundling along the A75 between Dumfries and Annan; a woman is followed by something 'utterly malign, four-legged and obscenely human' while walking in the Cairngorms; a bone taken from an Egyptian tomb terrifies an Edinburgh family...
From ancient legend to first hand, up to the minute accounts, here is a comprehensive collection of reports of ghosts and ghostly happenings in over a hundred places in Scotland.
If you want to know where Bonnie Prince Charlie and Sir Walter Scott are said to walk, if you didn't know that Vikings have been seen raiding Iona recently, read on. The ghost from Perth may amuse you, the ghost from Maxton will probably horrify you.
'This well-researched, informative book should have an immediate appeal to the converted. As for the sceptics - who can say?' -Irish Times
'A volume which can help to bring a new dimension to the delights of touring Scotland.' -The Scotsman
