Ancient Superstitions of the Scottish Highlands: Fairy Lore, Divination, and the Devil

Trace the magical history of the Scottish Highlands, exploring the spiritual kinship between humankind, earth, sea, and sky, alongside the charms and folklore that offered protection and hope.

Compiled by the folklorist J. G. Campbell, this enduring work remains the most complete record of the beliefs and observances that once governed the daily existence of the Scottish Highlands. Far from idle superstition, these customs reveal a finely balanced system of knowledge through which communities sought to preserve health and fortune.

First published in 1900 as Superstitions of the Highlands & Islands of Scotland, this volume is a vital record of traditional customs, omens, and protective rites.
