The Dark Lore of Clan Cumming - Digital Edition

Step beyond the familiar history of Clan Cumming and enter the shadowed world of the legends that refused to die.

Once among the most powerful noble families in medieval Scotland, the Comyns—later known as the Cummings—possessed castles, vast estates, political influence, and a claim to power that rivaled the Scottish crown. Their dramatic fall during the struggle for Scotland would leave behind more than ruined strongholds and scattered descendants. It would give birth to centuries of ghost stories, curses, prophecies, supernatural creatures, lost treasures, and dark Highland folklore.

The Dark Lore of Clan Cumming gathers 15 atmospheric stories inspired by the legends and supernatural traditions surrounding Clan Cumming and the lands once associated with the Comyn family.

Journey from the bloodstained memory of Greyfriars in Dumfries, where John "the Red Comyn" met his famous fate, to the lonely ruins of Dunphail Castle, where headless warriors are said to wander. Search the black waters surrounding Lochindorb for legendary lost treasure. Encounter witches in Badenoch, phantom soldiers, ancient prophecies, fairy hounds, cursed objects, Highland seers, changelings, restless pipers, and spirits whose stories have survived long after the people who first told them disappeared.
