SCOTLAND - THE LAND BENEATH THE MAGIC

Part of the answer lies beneath your feet.  Scotland’s geological history is ancient and dramatic. The bones of the land were forged in fire, split by continental collisions, and reshaped by glaciers. From the billion-year-old Lewisian gneiss to the Highland Boundary Fault that cleaves the country in two, Scotland is a land built on thresholds that are tectonic, elemental, and spiritual in nature. 

It’s no surprise, then, that its stories are equally layered.   Folklore flourishes in places of contrast and convergence, just like Scotland’s terrain, where moor meets mountain, and freshwater meets sea. These liminal landscapes naturally give rise to tales of kelpies in dark lochs, fae glens lost in the mist, or stones that whisper in the moonlight.  But it’s not just the landforms, it’s what grows from them.
