Sinopsis

The Cat-Stane, Edinburghshire: Is It Not The Tombstone Of The Grandfather Of Hengist And Horsa? is a book written by James Young Simpson and published in 1862. The book explores the history and significance of the Cat-Stane, a large standing stone located in Edinburghshire, Scotland. Simpson suggests that the stone may be the tombstone of the grandfather of Hengist and Horsa, two legendary figures from Anglo-Saxon mythology. The book delves into the history of the area and the possible connections between the stone and the Anglo-Saxon invaders who settled in Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries. The book includes illustrations and photographs of the stone and its surroundings, as well as maps and diagrams to help readers understand the context of the stone within its landscape. Overall, The Cat-Stane, Edinburghshire is a fascinating exploration of the history and mythology of Scotland and its connections to the wider world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
