First published in 1963 by Harvill Press, Dark Encounters is an elegantly spine-tingling collection of ghost stories set in the brooding landscape of Scotland and often referring to real people, places and objects.
From a demonic book that brings its readers to an early death to the murderous spectre of a feudal baron, these tales are a welcome addition to the long and distinguished canon of Scottish ghost stories.
For those who seek the unnerving and the inexplicable, Dark Encounters is guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of your neck.

The Keepers of the Wall
‘I SEE THAT someone has discovered a number of skeletons beneath the foundations of a wall and has brought forward the old idea that they were put there so that their ghosts could hold up the wall.’

‘And why not?’ interposed Henderson. ‘It was long thought that burying a body under a wall would help to hold the wall secure.’

‘Didn’t Gordon Childe find something like that at Skara Brae?’ queried Drummond.
