From unicorns and dragons to the Ghillie Dhu and Morag of Morhobhar, The Book of Beasties: A Scottish Bestiary of Old is a beautifully illustrated gift book certain to inspire innocently belief-filled questions from children.
Posing as the long-lost sketchbook of The Great Clan Chief seems inauthentic but despite this the book maintains a certain charm and contains well-researched and interesting myths, legends and folklore.
The Book of Beasties: A Scottish Bestiary of Old, 1710, written by Belle Robertson, illustrated by Larry MacDougall, published by Mirror and Comb, £12.99
