Folklore in Lowland Scotland eBook Eve Blantyre Simpson Reviews
There are some interesting anecdotes in here; whether you believe they happened is, I suppose, up to you and your worldview. However, any derivation of "Beltane" (May 1, the beginning of summer) or any Scottish words or customs from the Babylonian "Baal" is linguistically bonkers. At best, it's wishful thinking for people who really want to believe that Celts had a Middle-Eastern origin. That's as may be, but you would think a theory of that weight would have better support than folk etymology! The anecdotes are fun and could be inspiring for role-playing games or creative work. I don't trust a lot of what this book has to say in terms of larger theories, though, because of the silly "Baal" derivation.
