Synopsis

Legends Of Strathisla, Inverness-Shire, And Strathbogie: With An Appendix. 3D. Ed., To Which Is Added A Walk From Keith To Rothiemay By The Same Author by R. Sim. This book is a historical-archaeological collection of regional folklore and narratives drawn from Strathisla, Inverness-Shire, and Strathbogie, rich in tales of robberies, feuds, sieges, and early modern conflicts, interwoven with commentary on local landmarks and genealogies. It includes prefatory remarks by the author and a Publisher’s Preface, and presents the Legends as memory-preserving narratives while situating events in their historical contexts. The narratives cover episodes such as the Capture of the Freebooter (1667), the Beggar and the Bully (1740), the Night March and Outpost Skirmish (1746), and the Robbers’ Hold, among others, and weave together local tradition with notes on heraldry, churches, and estate histories. An Appendix provides biographical and historical notes, plus illustrations of important sites, heraldic details, and appendices on the region’s past. A companion section titled “A Walk From Keith To Rothiemay” offers a travelogue describing bridges, mills, and landscapes along the Isla and Deveron rivers, enriching the cultural memory of Strathisla.
