The richness of the folklore of the Highlands of Scotland is due, in part, to the fact that so much of it has been handed down by oral tradition. It is characteristic of the Gaelic spirit: their love of words, their love of nature, and perhaps above all, their love of their homeland. Anne Ross, a Celtic scholar who is also fluent in Gaelic, has lived and worked in the Highlands, which enabled her to collect information first hand and assess the veracity of material already published. In The Folklore of the Scottish Highlands she portrays the beliefs and customs of Scottish Gaelic society including seasonal customs, the famous waulking songs, the Highland belief in seers and second sight, omens and taboos, witchcraft and the Evil Eye, death rituals, and many more Scottish Highland traditions and beliefs. The folklore of the Highlands is unique, fascinating, and as Ann Ross proves, very much alive"--Jacket flap.

The folklore of the Scottish Highlands is unique and very much alive. Dr Anne Ross is a Gaelic-speaking scholar and archaeologist who has lived and worked in crofting communities. This has enabled her to collect information at first hand and to assess the veracity of material already published. In this substantially revised edition of a classic work first published 30 years ago, she portrays the beliefs and customs of Scottish Gaelic society, including: seasonal customs deriving from Celtic festivals; the famous waulking songs; the Highland tradition of seers and second sight; omens and taboos, both good and bad; and, chilling experiences of witchcraft and the Evil Eye Rituals associated with birth and death. Having taken her MA, MA Hons and PhD at the University of Edinburgh, Anne Ross became Research Fellow in the School of Scottish Studies, Edinburgh. She then rapidly established herself as one of Britain's leading Celtic scholars. Her seminal work is "Pagan Celtic Britain" and she has also published "Druids - Preachers of Immortality" with Tempus Publishing.
