Lord Kenmure and the Witch of Hannayston

This is Galloway, pour a dram, let me tell you one of it’s tales. It was a bright morning near Yule when Lord Kenmure and his cousin James went out hunting together for the Yule Feast at Kenmure Castle. They startled a stag early in their hunt, and followed it many miles until they came to the mouth of the Garroch Gle

#BookologyThursday: `#Niamh had fallen in love with #Oisin, who was overtaken on first sight with desire for this lovely woman from the #Celtic #Otherworld. Without thinking that time passes more slowly in the #Otherworld than in our own or even a look back #Oisin went with the Princess of the Golden Hair on her fine white horse with golden reins over seas and plains and mountains far out to sea on a magical island, Tir Tairngiri (“land of promise”).
