The mystery and rich variety of Scotland’s landscape has inspired imaginations for centuries. Perhaps it is for this reason that there are so many mythical creatures said to live within Scotland’s borders. Or perhaps, if you look very closely, you might find that it has nothing to do with imagination at all. Perhaps you might find that these creatures are very real.

This bestiary contains 16 creatures from Scotland, well known animals like the Loch Ness Monster, to smaller, rarer ones like the Lavellan. With a silhouette and description for each animal, you’ll certainly be able to tell what you’ve seen when walking along a moonlit, forgotten track.
