Synopsis

Set against the late 17th century, this work follows a Scottish minister’s search for beings described as “of a middle nature betwixt man and angel”. Robert Kirk travels through the Highlands, gathering accounts from local people about their reported encounters with supernatural creatures.

Presented as a record of testimony, it offers glimpses of a world where everyday life and magic sit closely together. The subject matter is framed around nature and wildlife.
