Notes:
For many centuries, authors and musicians alike have focused on the tale of a young Thomas Learmonth's meeting with the 'Fairy Queen' at the foot of the Eildon Hills. The 'Ballad of Thomas the Rhymer' is legendary. This book, although exploring the reasoning behind the origins of the tale, deals mainly with historical facts. It also gives examples of the ongoing lore and superstitions which began in the times of the indigenous tribes of the area that is now Southern Scotland.
