Synopsis

Mill Dust & Dreaming Bread takes readers on a captivating journey through Scotland's landscapes, legends, and lore.

This book explores the rich tapestry of folk belief and folk magic and uncovers the enduring connections between land, community, and spirit rooted in Scotland's ancestral traditions. From animistic practices and seasonal celebrations to the struggles of resilience against suppression, it reclaims a marginalised cultural heritage and invites readers to rediscover its relevance in the modern world.

Blending deep archival research, personal storytelling, and vibrant explorations of ecology, history, and spirituality, this work is an evocative homage to Scotland's past and a powerful call to embrace its enduring wisdom. Whether delving into the fairy faith, uncovering the rituals of ancient festivals, or examining the impact of societal upheaval, Mill Dust & Dreaming Bread offers a transformative perspective on our shared heritage and a vision of how it can inspire us today.

This book is for seekers, storytellers, and all who yearn to connect with the echoes of an ancient land.
