Classic authors such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, and John Buchan appear alongside Eric Linklater, Fred Urquhart, and Dorothy K. Haynes. From these stories it is clear that the Scots are a historically minded people with a strong sense of the changing flow of time and a deep feeling for the eerie and supernatural.
