'Stories are something you carry with you, something to last your entire life, to be passed on to your children, and their children for evermore.' Duncan Williamson Duncan Williamson was one of Scotland's Travelling People, born on the shores of Loch Fyne. He has been celebrated as the bearer of Scotland's greatest national treasure: the richest trove of story and song in Europe. As a child, Duncan learnt the ways of the world through stories: 'Now my father would say, "Sit down there and listen carefully. Because by listening to this story you're going to learn something that will teach you in life. And remember, carry the story with you all of your days. Because this story was told to me by my father."' In this collection, he passes on some of these wonderful children's folk and fairy tales.
