A marvellous and indispensible treasury of Scottish folklore and folk belief from the world of Celtic magic, gods and fairies, to the prophesies of the Brahan seer, second sight, witchcraft, earth magic, selkies, changelings and a host of traditional spells and cures. The Silver Bough involved many years of research into both living and recorded folklore, and remains a classic of literature.

User reviews

LibraryThing member Beithe
This edition is only the first of four volumes written by McNeill. It is a good general introduction to Scottish folk beliefs, though very much of its time.(first published in 1956)
