Description

Steeped in the warm glow of a Highland hearth, this collection brings the timeless voice of the Doric tongue to listeners seeking a taste of Scotland’s ancient soul. In the first tale, the Guidman o’ Inglismill, a humble folk‑hero wanders mist‑shrouded moors, guided by riddles and the earnest counsel of his community. The narrative weaves gentle humor with a quiet reverence for loyalty, hard work and the simple pleasures of a life close to the land.

The second story turns toward the ethereal realm, introducing a fairy bride whose moonlit visits stir both wonder and unease among the villagers. As the fairies dance on the edges of everyday life, the listeners are treated to vivid descriptions of woodland enchantments and the old beliefs that once explained the unseen world. Together, the legends capture the rhythm of oral tradition, inviting listeners to linger over the cadence of an age when myth and daily life walked hand in hand.
