About this book
Scottish lochs, springs and wells carried a body of belief that the author traces back to ancient nature-worship. The first chapter, on the worship of water, ranges over sea serpents, mer-folk and the charms and superstitions of fishermen and sailors, divination by water, old ideas about rivers and fords, and the survival of well-worship. Places named include St. Vigeans, St. Tredwell's Loch and St. Margaret's Well. James M. Mackinlay draws on Sir John Lubbock and E. B. Tylor for the wider background to these customs.
