Summary

Many fascinating tales from the West Highlands and islands were told by the fires of hall and hut, each further embroidered in the telling. This collection contains true tales, or ones based largely on truth, carefully researched for accuracy. The appeal of the original stories has been kept in the retelling, but in such a way as to ensure their faithfulness to actual historical events. Sketches and watercolours illustrate each tale; map references allow visitors and residents alike to explore the events depicted on the ground - or follow them in their armchair!
