Tales from this northern land

THIS NORTHERN LAND is ancient; steeped in history and tragedy. Rich with myth and superstition bathed in folklore and legend. Not for us was the rich civilisation of the Romans, Greeks or Mesopotamia, rather a dark and barbaric land where cultures flourished for short periods only to be trod under the foot of the next marauding invader and vanishing forever. These people left a legacy of cairns, standing stones, brochs and duns, castles and hill forts scattered across the land. As you walk this northern land, everywhere you see traces of folk that have long since vanished and you wonder how these people lived, what they thought worshiped and feared. You wonder if their knowledge and thoughts are still in the land, in the mountains, forests and monuments. These stories though set in the modern world, reflect the dark past and history, the unknown places and wonders of this northern land at the point where reality dips into fantasy and becomes a soup of possible pasts and futures.
