Dragons of Scotland

“In Scotland — especially throughout the Highlands, Border country, and the old Celtic landscapes — dragons appeared not simply in stories, but within place names, carved stonework, saint traditions, clan legends, and oral histories carried across generations. To medieval Scots, dragons were not viewed as “mythical” in the modern sense. They were often treated as ancient creatures tied to dangerous wilderness beyond settled land — beasts associated with fear, chaos, death, or sacred places hidden deep within the landscape.”
