Superstitions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland (Annotated)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment. John Gregorson Campbell (1836 - November 22, 1891) was a Scottish folklorist and minister of the Free Church at Tiree and Coll parishes in Argyll, Scotland. An avid collector of traditional stories, he became Secretary of the Ossianic Society at the University of Glasgow in the mid-1850s. Poor health had prevented him from starting work as a minister when he was initially approved by the Glasgow presbytery to preach in 1858 and later after the Duke of Argyll appointed him to Tiree in 1861, parishioners opposed his way of preaching. Several of the anecdotes that he accumulated were published in magazines and, just before his death, the first of the four compendia of the stories began to be compiled; three were published a few years after his death. He was fluent in several languages, including Scottish Gaelic, and transcribed the legends precisely as dictated by the narrators.
