The legend of Sawney Bean   

The legendary tale of the Scottish cannibal Sawney Bean. He left home with an allegedly vicious woman named 'Black' Agnes Douglas, who apparently shared his inclinations and was accused of being a witch.  After some robbing and the cannibalisation of one of their victims, the couple ended up at a coastal cave in Bennane Head between Girvan and Ballantrea. . The cave was 200 yards (180 metres) deep and the entrance was blocked by water during high tide, enabling the couple to live there undiscovered for some 25 years.

The pair produced six daughters, eight sons, 14 granddaughters, and 18 grandsons. The grandchildren were said to be products of incenst between their children.

The Loch ness monster   

he Loch Ness Monster story, or "Nessie," blends ancient folklore with modern media sensation, starting with St. Columba in 565 AD banishing a beast from the River Ness, but truly exploding in 1933 with reported sightings near the new road, sparking widespread interest, famous (but faked) photos like the Surgeon's Photo, and ongoing fascination with a mysterious, large creature in Scotland's deep Loch Ness, attracting tourists and researchers despite scientific doubts. 

The witch of Fife 

ONCE, a long time ago in the Kingdom of Fife, there lived a gudeman and his wife. The old man was a quiet and hardworking soul but his wife was so skeerie and flighty that the neighbours used to nudge each other and whisper that they feared she might be a witch.

And her husband was afraid that it might be true, because she had a curious habit of disappearing in the evening and staying out all night, and when she did come back in the morning she looked quite white and tired, as if she had travelled far or worked hard.

The Kelpies

Beware…these are malevolent spirits! The kelpie may appear as a tame pony beside a river. It is particularly attractive to children – but they should take care, for once on its back, its sticky magical hide will not allow them to dismount! Once trapped in this way, the kelpie will drag the child into the river and then eat him.

These water horses can also appear in human form. They may materialize as a beautiful young woman, hoping to lure young men to their death. Or they might take on the form of a hairy human lurking by the river, ready to jump out at unsuspecting travellers and crush them to death in a vice-like grip.

The legend of Fingal's cave

The legend of Fingal's Cave connects the cave on Scotland's Isle of Staffa with Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway through tales of Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) and Scottish giant Benandonner, who were rivals; Fionn supposedly built a basalt causeway to fight Benandonner, but fled when he saw his foe's size, with the cave and causeway being remnants of this epic structure, though the cave was also known as the "Cave of Melody" for its echoe
