Hugh Henry, past @skhistoryfolklore.bsky.social president, has put a lot of effort into these walks, contacting land owners, setting up get-togethers and overnights along the way.

Still one of my very favourite books to work on and perfect for today's #FolkloreThursday theme - Treasury of Folklore: Seas and Rivers. Packed full of fabulous sea-lore and tales, and can we take a moment to appreciate the stunning cover by Joe McLaren?
