The Story of the Fairies of Merlin’s Crag
Allison Galbraith

Allison Galbraith recounts the tale of Wullie Hannah, a farm worker from Lanarkshire. Wullie’s life takes a transformative turn after a strange encounter with a fairy woman while out cutting turf on Merlin’s Crag. Revered as guardians and custodians of the land, the fairy folk emphasise the importance of respecting nature and our natural resources. In some ways, these kinds of stories served to keep people and the land in ecological balance.
