Searching for Scottish Folklore and Such...
New here, obviously. Cheerio all! So, I love to read, especially old lore. I would love it if anyone had any great suggestions of good books that contain Scottish folklore: stories on ghosts, myths, how things came to be, etc.
I would love to discuss this sort of thing, too. I don't know that much on it right now, but I'm calling all you book lovers in this area to assist me in learning more!
