The Moorfoot Tales: Lost Myths from Scotland

The selkies, faeries and kelpies of Scottish myth and legend are well known. But what hidden stories lie undiscovered in the lesser-known areas of this beautiful green country?

Moorfoot is a mysterious rural area of the Scottish Lowlands. Unknown to many, for centuries it has kept its myths, legends and folklore to itself. But secrets are lurking within the ancient ruins and flowing waters of Moorfoot, and finally, someone is telling them.

Stephen McCabe is a local storyteller and nature therapist. He has been wandering the hills of Moorfoot and reading ancient texts like a folklore detective. The result is a collection of stories based on myths and legends that some locals told him probably wouldn't exist. Above all, he has written a book entwined with a deep love and respect for nature. Even within the darkest tales, the beauty of our Earth Mother is ever-present.

Welcome to the magical land of Moorfoot: a land of psychic trees, witches and faery stones, shared through the dream-like visions of a persecuted woman, accused of witchcraft.

'The Moorfoot Tales is an enchanting book, threading together longer tales, short snippets and original prose to make something altogether new.' Daniel Allison, USA Today bestselling author of Scottish Myths & Legends
