The Old Woman and the Hind

An old story from the North of Scotland. The Lord Reay mentioned was infact a real title, meaning this story could date as far back as 1591. The custom of milking deer is an old one but this tale is particularly curious, especialy concerning the old woman, who takes on a familiar role of the Cailleach Bheur.
