From the baker who won the heart of a princess, to the lord who sailed to avenge an insult to his king, to the lass who saved the life of a water bull, these lovely tales show the beauty and mystery of the Scottish Western Isles. Ten folk tales from the Scottish Hebrides, each from a different island. These are stories of the sea, populated by giants, waterbulls and fairy creatures.
