'So it was done. The link was made between the people from under the sea and those of the land, for love can alter all things and all people and the love of a woman can outlast the sun.'

At turns tragic, often romantic, MacPherson has drawn on his love of Scotland's maritime traditions to produce a stunning collection of uniquely Celtic fables and stories passed down through generations.

The author's reverence of his country's physical beauty and storytelling heritage shines through in a beautiful array of myths, legends and lore, from mystical creatures of the deep to ancient quarrelling clans. On MacPherson's allegorical journey across the coast of Scotland we meet striking mermaids and monstrous whales, the three witches of Ramasaig and the greatest piping family who ever lived.

Celtic Sea Stories offers both a witty and wistful look at some of the best of Scotland's coastal folklore. George W Macpherson is a master storyteller and the author of Highland Myths and Legends.
