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

Step beyond the battles, castles, and noble titles of Clan Gordon and enter the darker world of Highland folklore.

The Dark Lore of Clan Gordon explores fifteen eerie stories connected with one of Scotland's most powerful clans and the lands they once dominated. Across the mist-covered glens, ancient castles, lonely rivers, and windswept moors of the Scottish northeast, history and legend meet in tales of supernatural creatures, ominous prophecies, restless spirits, witches, fairies, curses, and unexplained events.

Encounter the monstrous boar said to haunt the forests of Huntly, the deadly kelpie of the River Deveron, and the chilling prophecies associated with the legendary Brahan Seer. Discover the strange story of the Shian of Strathbogie, the tragic burning of Frendraught, and the terrifying night when Jock of Scurdargue supposedly wrestled with a mysterious spirit upon the moors.

Journey deeper into Gordon folklore with the notorious Warlock Laird of Gordonstoun, whose pursuit of forbidden knowledge became the foundation of one of the northeast's darkest legends. Follow the prophecy of Thomas the Rhymer and the Herons of Gight, the unsettling changeling tradition of the Cabrach, and the macabre tale of the dead Earl of Huntly brought before the Scottish Parliament.

The stories continue through the supernatural traditions surrounding the Battle of Glenlivet, the extraordinary witchcraft confessions associated with seventeenth-century Auldearn, the ominous wailing of the Caoineag before the Battle of Alford, the mysterious Fairy Bride of Glenavon, and the legendary Weeping Stones of Fyvie Castle.

Throughout the book, the documented world of Scottish history stands beside the supernatural traditions that grew around it. The result is an atmospheric journey through the beliefs, fears, legends, and stories that helped generations of Highlanders make sense of a landscape shaped by conflict, loss, family loyalty, and the unknown.
