| Summary | "Scenes and Legends of the North of Scotland: or, The Traditional History of Cromarty" by Hugh Miller is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the rich traditions, legends, and historical narratives specific to the Cromarty region of Scotland, exploring the evolution of local customs and the storytelling traditions that have characterized its inhabitants. The opening of the work introduces the author's intention to preserve the oral traditions that have been passed down through generations, lamenting their gradual disappearance in the face of modernity. Hugh Miller reflects on his childhood experiences with storytelling, revealing his deep appreciation for the authenticity and character present in the narratives of local people, particularly those of older generations. He categorizes traditions into different classes, emphasizing the importance of storytelling in understanding the past and the characters that shaped it while promising to blend these tales with historical insights and personal anecdotes throughout the text.
