"The Scottish Lowlands. Gentle hills, dreamy woods, romantic ballads, heroic songs. But dark castles tell tales of torture and woe, of reiver cruelty and the madness of kings. While the shades of slain armies still battle in the mist, witch-hunters ride and the bone-fires blaze ... The haunted highway of Dumfries, The dancing corpse of Glasgow, The masked imps of Strathantine, The murder dolls of Holyrood Park, The skeletal bride of Allanton, The profane chapel at Drumglass, The dark rituals in the West Bow."-- Back cover.
