Ancient Scottish/Celtic Mythology

Hello, I’ve been wanting to learn some more about the Celtic Mythologies as well as the religion of Ancient Scotland. Does anyone have any suggestions for books to read on these subjects(which potentially overlap if I understand correctly)

Scottish / Italian / Greek Mythology names

A bit of a mashup of themes here, but I’m part Italian and my partner is part Scottish, and we both love Greek mythology sounding names. We named our first daughter Theia and we have another baby due soon.

We are struggling for girl names and would like one that loosely fits in, or at least sounds like it should fit in, the themes above.

Some we like are:

  • Elekra
  • Elena
  • Juno
  • Serina

Our surname is two words, hyphenated, beginning with F and H. The F is Scottish and the H is Italian. 4 syllables in total.

We are in the UK.

Any help is massively appreciated!

Was Irish/Scottish/English folklore and mythology a part of everyday life in the past?

In modern times we often think of Irish/Scottish/English folklore and mythology as being a prominent part of everyday life in the past. Banshees, leprechauns, fairies, etc. Movies are made depicting folklore/mythology playing prominent roles in everyday life, books written showing the depth and richness of folklore/mythology for these respective cultures. Even making Irish soda breads we cut a cross to bless it, but also to let the fairies out.

Would the people of these cultures, let’s say between 1700-1800’s (a lot of my post are deleted for not giving a specific time period, but it can be any time period post-paganism/druids once Christianity spread) have thought much of this folklore/mythology in their everyday life or do we make more of it in modern times?

Do we exaggerate the significance of the folklore in the past where it was much less of a way of life back then?

[Gaelic > English] Trying to properly translate words relating to the fairies of Irish/Scottish mythology.

To the best of my limited studies, "sidhe" means something akin to "mounds of earth", and that the proceeding word "aos" or "aes" means something akin to "people", rendering the name of the fairies, "People of the Mounds". Which is about as close as I've been able to find to the Gaelic word for fairies.

However, I've been thinking about trying to translate them in such a way as to refer to the various 'courts' of fairies seen often in fiction involving them. What would the translations be for Winter, Summer, and Wild fairies?

Any and all pronunciation help would also be greatly appreciated.

Resources for Scottish History, Mythology, and Folklore

Hi folks,

I'm looking to get more clued up on Scottish history than I am currently, considering I’ve lived here my whole life and don’t think I know nearly enough.

I want to go beyond the usual stuff from school and common knowledge: the Romans, wars of independence, Jacobite uprisings, acts of union etc. - though still happy to read about it - and learn more about the ancient history, folklore, invasions, mythology, and original peoples of Scotland.

If you’ve got any favourite/interesting resources I’d be grateful if you could share them. I’m no historian, but might look into creating some sort of accessible resource for this stuff if I collate enough information and think others could benefit from it.

For some background, I’ve already got Terry Pratchett's Lore of Scotland: A Guide to Scottish Legends. I’ve enjoyed flicking through it but it’s inspired me to look for more like it with a bit more detail.

Cheers!

Scottish mythology in and around Edinburgh/Stirling

Hi everyone!

Me and my classmate from the Netherlands are traveling to Scotland next week for a school project. Our project is about how much influence the scottish myths/legends have in 2018. We have already planned to research the Unicorn, Kelpies and 3 ghost stories. The only problem we have is that we don't have a lot of locations to go to. As of now we have planned to go to Edinburgh for the Unicorn research, the Mackenzie poltergeist and Mary kings close. As for the kelpies, we have planned to go to Falkirk. Are there any other places we can visit in and around Edinburgh? We stay in Clydebank if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: i made a mistake, apparently we stay in clydebank not Stirling hahah

17F, lmk if you’re a scottish mythology buff!

hey!! im never really sure how to start these, but i’m a pretty laidback person from the states who’s pretty easily drained by constant conversation. ideally, you’d be okay with my replies coming when i feel up to it (at least once a day).

beyond that, i’m really looking for people who are into scottish mythology (celtic is too general, considering most of it focuses on irish mythos)/fun things to do there! the former comes from the fact that i’m an aspiring writer who needs the information for writing, and the latter comes from a trip i might take towards the end of the year. i really like to learn about these sorts of things, so info dumping is welcome and appreciated

if that’s not your speed, i’m also pretty into rpgs (currently finishing persona 4 and playing feh near constantly lol). i have a big mind for lore, so if you’re a ya novel reader/rpg lore collector, i think we’d get along great!!

no limit on gender/age, but know that i’ll probably be significantly more wary if you’re 22+ due to some past issues
