Flying Collie presents a collection of Scottish Fairy Stories compiled by Sir George Douglas and originally published in 1910. These are  stories you've probably never heard before. Although they are largely collected from Scotland, they have many echos in other cultures. After all, wherever ships explored there was undoubtedly a Scotsman on board. <br /><br />Although some of the stories are a "bit dark", we've been careful to make sure there is nothing which would promote nightmares... that having been said, if you never have a nightmare, you never have a dream. So... are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.
