I am a closet admirer of Celtic folk lore, thus enjoyed this submission. I don't know if the writer is of Scots heritage or not, but it seems to me the tale would be more effective had it taken place in Ireland; or, if Scotland had to be the site of choice, it ought have been written in literation more closely akin to Scots Gailec, with needful modifications throughout to accomodate the English reader.
Could have been a bit longer in some parts, and maybe a bit scarier, but otherwise very nice story, I enjoyed reading it...
