Description
…Many stories in this small book are based on true events, but are taken from traditional tales rather than recorded history. People like Janet Forsyth, the storm witch, and Archie Angel were real people. Events like the stories of the 1745 rebellion and the Spanish Armada are historical facts, though recorded from the folk memory of the people. Some of the stories are quite well known to Orcadians, but others are more obscure, while some are published here for the first time…. Tom Muir
