Mysterious Scotland

by Michael Balfour

 In Mysterious Scotland, Michael Balfour investigates strange stories from the country’s moors, forests, rivers, holy wells, and lochs—as well as the old legends and dark secrets of palaces, castles, and cathedrals. Roaming a land where the past is mirrored in the present, he explores standing stones, mermaid beaches, and magic springs; seeks out new theories about Celtic and Pictish stones, carvings, and tombs; and finds monsters, ghouls, and ancient cures. Not forgotten are the great historical figures who throng the pages, each making a unique contribution to Mysterious Scotland. Michael Balfour is the author of Stonehenge and Its Mysteries and Megalithic Mysteries.
