Superstitions of the Highlands of Scotland by John Gregorson Campbell

This is a short, scholarly work published in 1900. It is very dry in its scholarship. Etymology is a major focus of the work along with clinical descriptions of Celtic fairy beings. It is worth reading as a survey on the cultural and linguistic background of fairy stories in Scotland, with occasional forays into Irish and German backgrounds, but it is not something that anyone would consider to be a “page turner.”
