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

Beyond the battles, chiefs, and castles of Clan Ross lies another history—a shadowed world of restless spirits, ancient curses, second sight, witches, supernatural creatures, and prophecies said to have haunted the people of Ross-shire for centuries.

The Dark Lore of Clan Ross explores fifteen atmospheric tales drawn from the folklore and traditions of the northern Scottish Highlands. Set among the windswept shores of Easter Ross, the ancient woods surrounding Balnagown, the sacred ground of Tain, and the lonely lochs and sea caves of the north, these stories reveal a landscape where history and legend are almost impossible to separate.

Discover the terrifying each-uisge of Loch Glass, the supernatural water-horse said to lure its victims beneath the dark water. Enter the haunted woods associated with Black Andrew Munro. Follow the strange tale of the Changeling of Tarbat Ness and encounter the mysterious Gille Dubh, guardian of the Highland forest.

Explore the notorious witchcraft accusations surrounding Lady Foulis, hear the legend of the Mermaid of Balintore, descend into the darkness with the Phantom Piper of Nigg, and walk the ancestral halls of Balnagown Castle in search of its sorrowful Green Lady.

The collection also reaches deep into the spiritual history of Clan Ross through stories connected with St. Duthac of Tain, the Highland tradition of Second Sight, the prophecies of the Brahan Seer, the tragedy of Fearn Abbey, and the ancient mystery surrounding the great Shandwick Stone.

More than a collection of ghost stories, this book explores how generations of Highlanders understood danger, death, faith, fate, and the wilderness around them. The supernatural traditions of Ross-shire were woven into everyday life, providing explanations for tragedy and warnings about the dangers of the mountains, forests, lochs, and sea.
