15 Stories of Ancestral Ghosts, Curses, Legends, and Prophecy

Beyond the battles, tartans, and proud genealogies of Clan Farquharson lies a darker inheritance.

The Dark Lore of Clan Farquharson journeys into the shadowed glens of Deeside and the mist-covered Cairngorms to uncover the ghosts, supernatural creatures, ancient curses, prophecies, and strange traditions that became woven into the memory of one of Scotland’s great Highland clans.

Across fifteen atmospheric stories, discover a world in which the boundary between history and folklore is frighteningly thin. Meet John Farquharson of Inverey—the legendary Black Colonel—whose restless coffin refuses to remain buried. Follow a young herdsman to the dangerous waters of the Linn of Dee, where a deadly kelpie waits beneath the surface. Enter the fairy hills of Glen Lui with a piper who discovers that time does not pass normally in the realm of the hidden folk.

Travel through the blood-soaked history of the Highlands as omens appear before the Jacobite risings, spectral winding sheets foretell death before Culloden, and ancient traditions of second sight reveal a future that cannot be escaped. Encounter the Baobhan Sìth of the Cairngorms, the sinister Cat Sìth of Highland legend, the mysterious Big Grey Man of Ben MacDui, and the tragic Blonde Bride said to haunt Braemar Castle.

These stories explore the supernatural world once believed to surround the Farquharsons: a landscape where rivers concealed water spirits, lonely shielings attracted dangerous fairy women, witches could summon unnatural storms, stones remembered fallen warriors, and the dead remained bound to the glens they had defended in life.

Inside you will discover stories including:

• The Restless Coffin of the Black Colonel

This is a book for readers fascinated by Scottish clan history, Highland folklore, ghosts, Jacobite legends, haunted castles, Celtic mythology, supernatural Scotland, and the darker side of ancestral tradition.
