About this book

A cornerstone of Celtic folklore and tradition, discover the very heart of the age-old knowledge, magic, and traditions that governed the Scottish Highlands.

This essential collection combines two of folklorist J. G. Campbell's classic texts Superstitions of the Highlands & Islands of Scotland (1900) and Witchcraft & Second Sight in the Highlands Islands of Scotland (1902) to create a complete volume of ancient lore.

From accounts of the Second Sight and prophecy, to an intimate look at fairy lore, including the customs and precautions taken to interact safely (or avoid) the powerful spirit world, this volume also looks into the ancient Scottish practices of witchcraft and the cunning folk. Discover details of local rituals, spells, and protective charms, alongside the many superstitions governing every element of life, from birth and marriage to the power of the sea and the signs of the weather.

In this detailed account, Campbell captures the true spiritual landscape of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, preserving age-old magic.
