Old Scottish Customs: Local and General

Casting a spotlight on Scotland's customs and superstitions, Guthrie's Old Scottish Customs is an invaluable collection of folk lore and folk traditions in both Highland and Lowland Scotland. Bringing together a wide range of historical sources and lore, Guthrie covers the major festivals of Scotland's seasonal calendar, as well as the many different beliefs and superstitions associated with sport, faery haunts, and those pivotal moments in life, such as birth, death and marriage. A fascinating compilation, first published in 1885, which still stands the test of time.
