Angus Folk Tales
Author: Erin Farley
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750999055
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Angus is a landscape of dramatic glens and rich farmland, ancient weaving towns and fishing villages, from the city of Dundee in the lee of the Sidlaw hills in the south, and the Grampian mountains in the north. The tales of Angus are as varied as the landscapes they are tied to, told through the years in castles, bothies, tenements and Travellers' tents. Here, historical legends tell of Caterans roaming the glens, Jacobite intrigue in Glenisla and pirates roving the stormy waters off the Arbroath coast. Kelpies, broonies and fairies lurk just out of sight on riverbanks and hillsides, waiting to draw unsuspecting travellers into another world. The land bears memories of ancient battles, and ghosts continue to walk the old roads in the gloaming. In this collection, storyteller and local historian Erin Farley brings you a wealth of legends and folk tales, both familiar and surprising.

A bibliography of the County of Angus
The People of Dundee and Angus at Home and Abroad, 1800-1850
Author: David Dobson
Publisher: Clearfield
ISBN: 9780806359397
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This book identifies residents in the adjacent counties of Dundee and Angus, as well as emigrants from there, between 1800 and 1850. Dundee and Angus now form distinct Scottish administrative units but were formerly a single district known as Forfarshire. The main towns were Brechin, Forfar, and Kirriemuir in Strathmore, with Dundee, Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Arbroath, and Montrose along the coast. From the medieval period to the Victorian era Forfar was the administrative center of Angus or Forfarshire, while Dundee, still within Angus, was fast becoming the main industrial and port city. By the late 19th century Dundee had become one of the biggest cities in Scotland. The information in this book is derived from a wide range of sources, such as count records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The entries bring together emigrants, their destinations--especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia--with their kin who remained in Scotland.
