The Darker Superstitions Of Scotland

From the storm-lashed highlands to the shadowed glens, Scotland’s past is steeped in tales of terror. In The Darker Superstitions of Scotland, John Graham Dalyell gathers a grim tapestry of belief—witchcraft, omens, demons, fairies, and spectral visitations—that haunted the imagination of a people for centuries.

These are not idle legends. They are the fears that shaped lives, guided choices, and justified trials in fire and blood. Dalyell records with precision the charms, curses, and superstitions that bound Scotland to a world where the unseen was always near and often deadly.

Part folklore, part occult history, this work reveals the dangerous intimacy between daily life and the supernatural in a land where belief itself was a matter of survival—or damnation.
