About ScotlandsFest: The Queen’s Bahookie, and Other Tales From Scotland’s Castles - Robin Laing
Who saw the Queen’s Bahookie? Which castle had an annual rent of one red rose? Which maiden was most feared by Scottish aristocrats? Which job is worse – turnbrochie or pigeon-plucker? Which castle is associated with flying cows? What treasure was brought to the surface by a mole? Who would want to marry Archibald the Grim? Robin turns his poetic and storytelling attention to tales he found in various crumbling castle walls; the plotting and shenanigans of royals and aristocrats over centuries, and a few other titbits.
The Queen’s Bahoukie invites readers on a captivating odyssey through the mystical castles of Scotland, unveiling secrets and tales that transcend time. Each story paints a vivid portrait of Scotland’s wonders.
In this poetic and historical journey, the crumbling walls of these fortresses come alive with the echoes of love, loyalty, drama, bravery and tragedy. Become witnesses to the other-worldliness concealed within the ancient stones and hidden chambers.
