A find in #BirsayBooks
Allegedly out of Jim Baikie's estate. No proof. Great story, though.

https://www.birsaybooks.co.uk/The intros by David Lloyd (1990) and Alan Moore (1988) are harrowing reads. Even by the standards of the story itself.
"...and one can only speculate as to witch minority will be the next to legislated against."

The Trows of #Orkney and #Shetland
What is a #Trow?
According to Saxby and Edmondston’s 'Home of a #Naturalist’ (1888):
“This interesting race of #supernatural beings is closely allied to the #Scandinavian #Trolls, but has some very distinctive characteristics of its own. The Trow is not such a mischief-making #sprite as the Troll, is more #human-like in some respects, and his #nature seems cast in a #morbid, #melancholy mould.”
