Scotsferatu: The Vampire in Scottish Culture and Folklore

We don’t normally associate Scotland with vampires but there is a hidden history of folklore surrounding the undead – if you only know where to look. From the Pagan baobhan-sith of the Highlands and a sixteenth-century stranger that was suspected of being a vampire in Galloway, to a vampire that was terrorising wildlife in Lochmaben in the 90s, the vampire is alive… or rather undead…, and well in Scottish history and culture. This is a unique exploration of Scottish history and of a horror hero.
