A collection of ten Scottish legends passed down through the ages Scottish culture is rich with mythology. There are tales of monks and saints, fairies and witches, kings, nobles, and ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Some stories were never written down, shared instead through retellings that turned storytelling into an art form. Many of these tales and legends from Scotland were handed down by seanachies, or wandering story tellers; others, called sgeulachdan, were composed to celebrate a special event, such as a wedding or bethrothal, and recited before the assembled company.
