An Illustrated Treasury of Scottish Castle Legends

Dark dragons, ghostly pipers, rude goblins and sly wizards—discover the legends that dwell within the ancient castles of Scotland.

This highly anticipated book is the latest volume of much-loved Scottish tale treasuries by Carnegie award-winning children's author Theresa Breslin and Kate Greenaway Medal-longlisted artist Kate Leiper.

Explore secret passages beneath Edinburgh Castle, search for the mysterious monster of Glamis, capture the faery flag of Dunvegan, joust with knights at Stirling Castle, and swim with the selkie of Eilean Donan in this sumptuous collection of tales from iconic Scottish castles. Read much-cherished and little-known legends, each illuminating the character and history of its castle, and all brilliantly retold and beautifully illustrated to amuse, thrill, and enchant readers of all ages.

A wonderful gift, this is a stunning book to be treasured for a lifetime, bringing history, place and story alive for children, parents, and grandparents alike.
